European Typographic Proofreader

The main aim of the project is to provide the professional and general public in the European Union with a tool that will bring any text written in one of the 24 official EU languages into line with the typographic rules in force in that language. While existing technologies theoretically allow most typographical errors to be automatically corrected, no such tool has been developed. This research will result in a publicly accessible database of these rules, followed by a web application, which will be accessible and useful to ordinary users as well as to public and commercial institutions by improving the quality of their textual output and reducing the time needed for editing.
