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 also only for Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

CasualPConc

CasualPConc is a simple parallel concordancer.  It can handle 2 parallel corpora and perform very simple kwic concordancing.  This is still at early stage of development.  If I get feedback, I might develop this further.

CasualMultiPConc is also a simple parallell concordancer.  This can handle 2 to 5 parallel corpora for simple kwic concordancing.  The future of this application depends on your feedback.
