Overall Description

• A free professional productivity tool for automatic derivation of Amharic verb/root/stem tokens entered either in native Ethiopic script (Fidel); its main fucntion is to orthographically derive the full paradigm of any Amharic verb based on its root or stem, or any legitimate Amharic word, just paste, type, or load a file of verbs/roots and the system will start to do very complex procedures starting with root extraction -if necessary- since it is equipped with an advanced Kalmasoft made root extractor that handles a lot of advanced aspects of Amharic orthography related tasks including stemming, script conversion, and lemmatization.
• Supports many professional and academic transliteration standards in the input:
  1. SERA (The System for Ethiopic Representation in ASCII)
  2. ALA-LC (American Library Association - Library of Congress)
  3. Ethiopian Language Support for the Babel Package
  4. Alone-Stokes (The Alone-Stokes Short Manual of the Amharic Language)
  5. B&D Amharic transliteration
  6. Campbell's Amharic transliteration (Concise Compendium of the World's Languages)
  7. Chaîne's Amharic transliteration
  8. Cohen's Amharic transliteration
  9. Dawkins's Amharic transliteration
  10. Dept of State Amharic transliteration
• Supports the following transcription/transliteration standards in the output:
  1. International Phonetic Alphabet
  2. American Library Association - Library of Congress
  3. SERA//The System for Ethiopic Representation in ASCII
  4. Ethiopic//Ethiopian Language Support for the Babel Package
  5. Alone-Stokes
  6. B&D
  7. Campbell
  8. Chaîne

• Designed for productivity environments, typical applications include batch derivation of large databases of Amharic verbs/roots such as those used in corpora preparation and IR/Data mining software like search engines.
• Supports Unicode, which is the preferred encoding method for multilingual support. Not only can you open Unicode encoded files but you can also edit files so you can display multiple languages at the same time.
