AppTek's NameFinder™ is an advanced technology engine that is used
to scan text for proper nouns (such as human names) in various  
languages--
even in writing systems that do not use capitalization. NameFinder™ can
also accurately identify the ethno-linguistic origins of a person's  
name.

The system recognizes transliterates between the Roman (Latin) alphabet
and other writing systems, and can identify transliterated names despite
discrepancies, ambiguities, or simple misspellings. The system is  
designed

to assist customers with multilingual name lexicons. Proper nouns may

label locations, persons, currencies, measurements, first or last names,
etc.

The system holds a large database of proper nouns, which may be  
associated

with other nouns and types of events, regardless of their proximity in a
given

text; it also identifies nouns in free text, using surface parsing.

and http://aramedia.com/apptek.htm, the Diacritizer™ and other

Linguistic tools http://www.aramedia.com/linguistic_tools.htm

Such technologies are usually components of a total solution, and

not necessarily available as a standalone or in a shrink wrapped retail

box!
