The current version includes + speech signal processors, such as the Computerized Speech Lab (Kay Electronics) + morphological analyzers, such as PC-KIMMO (Summer Institute for Linguistics) + parsers, such as Alveytools (University of Edinburgh) + knowledge representation systems, such as Rhet (University of Rochester) + multicomponent systems, such as ELU (ISSCO), PENMAN (ISI), Pundit (UNISYS), SNePS (SUNY Buffalo), + applications programs (misc.)
