[Corpora-List] writing aid for German (MS Word add-in)

[Christian Pietsch]

Dear Hannes,

a product that matches your description is Duden Korrektor. Recent
versions seem to have dropped the Korrektor bit from their name,
and are called “DUDEN Rechtschreibprüfung für Microsoft Office”.

If my memory serves well, Duden Korrektor was originally developed by
CLT Sprachtechnologie GmbH, a spin-off from Saarland University's
computational linguistics department.

Cheers,
Christian
