A Canadian Premiere
for the Legal Profession
Montreal, Thursday, June 2, 1994 - Law offices in Canada no longer need
envy Europeans. In fact, Polyacte, a legal text generation system, launched
in Europe in 1989, has been adapted to the Canadian legal system. Law offices
can now benefit from a computer program capable of generating the masses of
documents required by companies operating under the Canada Business Corporations
Act. Polyacte runs in both English and French. The program, originally developed
by CAE/Légisoft, is used today by more than 1,500 law offices in France alone.
The product will be demonstrated at Alpha Legal's stand at the Quebec Bar Association's
annual meeting exhibit taking place in Sherbrooke from June 9th through 11th.
Mr. John Chandioux, well-known linguist and author of the Canadian version,
will be present with members of his team to answer questions from potential
users. John Chandioux is better known for his work in the field of machine translation,
and more specifically for the METEO ® system. The development of the Canadian
version of Polyacte was made possible through the collaboration of the Canadian
Language Technology Institute of Moncton, New Brunswick, and the law offices
of Desjardins Ducharme Stein and Monast of Montreal.
Polyacte Canada is published by EDIT inc. whose reputation for quality products
is largely based on its GramR ® line -- GramR Juridique and GramR
- Le Conjugueur with more than 200,000 copies distributed world-wide. Moreover,
the GramR spelling and grammar-checking technology has been integrated
in the products of three companies: Graphic Arts Solutions, an IBM partner,
InContext Corporation, distributed throughout the world by Xerox, and WinWay
Corporation. EDIT is the only software publisher in Quebec specializing in linguistic
applications.
