About Nadaclair Language Technologies

Nadaclair Language Technologies is an industry leader in the creation of pedagogically-oriented grammar correction software. Our objective is to develop and promote affordable language learning tools to help students master the rules of written languages. NLT currently offers tools for the learning of French, English, and Spanish.

Our flagship program is BonPatron, a state-of-the art tool for learning the rules of French grammar. In 2007, we introduced SpellCheckPlus, a similar website with a focus on the common stumbling blocks of written English. More recently, we have introduced SpanishChecker which currently identifies grammatical and orthographic errors in Spanish.

All of our products are developed with a pedagogical focus in mind. It is our view that learners make greatest progress when they are actively involved in the grammar correction process. Unlike other similar products, the tools developed by Nadaclair Language Technolgies aim to teach students about grammar, rather them help them simply edit a specific text.

About our People

Dr. Nadasdi is a linguist who specializes in bilingualism and grammatical analysis, while Dr. Sinclair has a background in literary analysis and humanities computing.
