ePrecis - next generation search

Posted: October 28, 2005

ePrécis has received a bit of press lately about being the next up and coming search engine. However, ZDnet puts a better spin on what it actually is:

“ePrécis is not a program per se, but a C++ language application programmer interface (API) that can be embedded in any number of applications to return relevant outputs given a wide variety of natural language inputs. In addition to plugging into Web browsers or search engines, it could plug into word processing programs to automatically provide abstracts, executive summaries, back-of-the book indexes, and writing or translation support.”

Language application, interpretation, semantic indexing, etc have been buzz words for a little over a year now. This system is no different in the use of buzz words, however, it might actually be using a bit of the technology behind the mere words.
