Armenian PowerSpell

Armenian PowerSpell, previously known as Armenian Orfo (ArmOrfo),[1] is an electronic corrector for texts in the modern Armenian language used in Armenia. It checks spelling,[2] grammar, punctuation,[3] slang and some semantic errors specific to texts in the Armenian language. The program was widely adopted in Armenia,[4][5] and among the Armenian diaspora[6] which uses the modern Armenian language. Today the product is used by almost all state and many educational institutions[5][7] of Armenia.

The program is developed by Arman Boshyan[8] and is distributed by the Armenian company Leader Profi LTD.[citation needed] The product supports Microsoft Windows and is integrated into all versions of Microsoft Office 2000–2010, while older versions worked only in Microsoft Word.[citation needed]

Features

Armenian PowerSpell was specifically developed for the modern Armenian language, taking into account many foreign words which entered Armenian during the Soviet and Post-Soviet periods.[9] It also checks errors specific to people with Russian education. The product can convert texts written in Armenian slang into a literary format. It also checks foreign-language words that do not have standardized Armenian spellings; however, because of the product's wide usage, some de facto standards have been created as a result.[citation needed]

Criticism

The first release of the program, PowerSpell 2009, was criticized for its high price. However, critics nonetheless recognized that the program was the most complete solution for spell-checking the Armenian language.[10] Meanwhile, distributors did not agree with this judgement, stating that the price policy ($24 per year, including annual new versions) programs was accessible to the population.[11]

Piracy

Piracy of the product led to the full paralysis of its development in 2002.[11] Activity on product development has ceased until 2005.[needs update]
