Bitext develops linguistic technologies for natural language understanding in different languages, including Spanish and English. Its NaturalFinder product suite integrates with the dtSearch Engine to provide enhanced linguistic analysis in Internet environments, Intranet environment, and Windows client-server and desktop environments.

NaturalFinder uses linguistic analysis to assist users in quickly finding information. “We want to provide search engines with the power to handle text according to content,” explains Bitext. “Words are not just character strings; they have meaning, With NaturalFinder, the search engine adapts itself to the user’s natural language and not the other way around, as is usually the case.” 

Bitext developed NaturalFinder in C / C++ for easy integration with the dtSearch Engine. “We liked the quality of dtSearch’s documentation and code samples. The readiness of its technical support service made integration a simple and low-cost task,” said Antonio S. Valderrábanos, CEO of Bitext.

DataNet. NaturalFinder includes DataNet, which expedites semantic relations management. For example, with DataNet, a search for “business mergers in Europe” could also recover a document discussing “business mergers in Spain.”

DataSpell. NaturalFinder also includes DataSpell, which detects spelling and typographic errors and suggests the correct search query.

In addition to developing NaturalFinder, Bitext also offers the following products for integration:

• NaturalGIS: allows users to easily find the geographic information in a GIS system quickly and effectively using natural language.
• NaturalAssistant: provides customer service via the web using natural-language enabled virtual assistants
• NaturalMail: assists email management applications in automatically categorizing and redirecting emails.

“We are very excited to be working with Bitext,” said David Thede, President, dtSearch Corp. “We welcome Bitext, both as a distributor of dtSearch products, and in terms of their advanced linguistic technology capabilities.”

In addition to selling NaturalFinder technology, Bitext also engages in linguistic technologies consulting in applications spanning everything from digital libraries to intelligence-gathering.
