If you've read anything at all about Natural Language Processing (NLP), you'll probably know at least three things: NLP is an extremely exciting and useful task, NLP can be really, I mean really, complicated and building NLP systems can be absolutely, outrageously, often unaffordably expensive.
Ellogon is an effort that tries to keep all the excitement and reduce all the complexity... Ellogon is different from other similar software. First of all, it respects the user's time by offering a simple and user friendly graphical interface. But beneath this simple appearance a powerful engine is hidden, that has been proved to be able to support a wide range of uses, from simple research prototypes to commercial applications.
Ellogon is licensed under the GNU LGPL license, is easy to install and administer and is reliable. Running under all major operating systems, Ellogon offers a comfortable environment for computational linguists, language engineers or plain users.

A new development version of Ellogon has been released (version 1.9.1). This release concentrates on thread-safety: both Ellogon core and the provided components are thread-safe, allowing for a multi-thread architecture in subsequent versions. In addition, facilities for embeding Ellogon in C/C++ have been created.
As you may have already noticed, Ellogon's web site has been updated! The new site is based on the excellent Joomla! CMS, which will help us to update and maintain Ellogon's web presence more easily. We hope that the new version of the site is more easy to navigate and more pleasant to see. If for any reason you want to access the old site, it is still available here.
