Montreal, Monday, April 25, 1994 - On June 1st, law offices in Canada will no longer envy Europeans. By then, in fact, Polyacte, a legal text generation system, launched in Europe in 1989, will have been adapted to the Canadian legal system. Law offices will be able to benefit from a computer program capable of generating the tons of documents required by companies operating under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Polyacte will run in both official languages. The program, originally developed by CAE/Légisoft, is used today by more than 1,500 law offices in France alone.

The Canadian launching of the product will take place on April 30th at the Technology for Lawyers '94 conference in Toronto. Mr. John Chandioux, well-known linguist and author of the Canadian version, will demonstrate Polyacte Canada. 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 and the law offices of Desjardins Ducharme Stein and Monast.

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.
