Abstract:

Four grammar checkers, all of French Canadian origin, were evaluated in this study: Le Correcteur 101 (Le Correcteur), GramR, Hugo Plus (Hugo), and the French Proofing Tools for Word for Windows Ver. 6 (French Proofing Tools). All the programs except GramR exist in both IBM-PC and Macintosh versions. The versions tested in this study are indicated in Table 1 (other available versions are indicated in parentheses) IBM-PC software was tested on a 486/66; Macintosh software was run on a Quadra 650. These programs will operate on lesser platforms, but with considerably slower response times.
