I assume that the spell-checking feature in most software application is driven by some kind of dictionary or other controlled vocabulary. The user can usually add to this list or import a custom dictionary, but the stock set of “acceptable” words comes standard. Now, I understand that different organizations call for different hyphenation usage standards, so I’m not usually surprised when I’m typing and it flags an otherwise perfectly cromulent1 hyphenated word.

Access Innovations recently debuted Data Harmony Version 3.9 and, within its new features and fixes, is a sneakily clever module called Inline Tagging. On the surface, it does exactly what the name says; it allows the user to see in a piece of content, quickly and clearly, what concepts in the text got triggered and tagged by the software. It seems simple enough, a handy tool, but upon closer inspection, it really opens doors for the user.
