Other Applications

These are applications that deal with text for language studies. Some are more elaborated than others. I developed these as I learned new things in programming, so you might find a lot of bugs in some of these. I might work on these when I have time or if I get feedback from people. These are for Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later.
