Polyglot 3000

automatic language identifier

Our Rating: (Very Good)

Polyglot 3000 can automatically identify the language used in a text, phrase, or (sometimes) even a single word. Just paste or type the text into the provided field, or load a text file, and the program will identify it from a database of over 400 languages that it can recognize. The longer the text sample, the better are the odds of proper identification. Worked well with the languages we tested.

Freeware Polyglot 3000 does not contain any adware or spyware.

FotoSketcher 1.96

Turn your digital photos into pencil sketches in seconds

Apply a sketch effect to your photos in no time. No artistic skills required!

Languages:

English

Recent changes in FotoSketcher:

• Painting 7 effect, which uses an algorithm to automatically place various size and shape brushstrokes on the canvas
• Due to the computer-intensiveness of the new effect, I've had to add a progress bar to the preview
• At any time you can interrupt the running process
• At the request of many users, I've added the possibility to open PNG files, as well as JPG and BMP
• If you wish to save in uncompressed format (if JPG produces too many artefacts for you) you now have the ability to save in BMP format (large file sizes)
