- What is JORJ ?
-
- JORJ (George) is a 58000-word pop-up dictionary that is
- different from any dictionary you have ever used before.
- You can surely recall this old chestnut- "How can I find it
- in the dictionary if I don't know how to spell it?". Well,
- JORJ precludes the problem because JORJ is phonetic and
- doesn't really care how you spell the word you are looking
- for. If you can pronounce it JORJ will find it. For
- example, you could enter the word "kwoshunt" and JORJ will
- give you "quotient" or enter "numonik" and get "mnemonic" or
- "toemain" will get "ptomaine". You not only get correct
- spelling but the definition and all inflected forms of the
- word on the same display.
-
- JORJ also permits you to scan the definitions of the entire
- database for a particular word. This SCAN feature will
- provide a list of words and definitions which contain the
- scan word as part of the definition. For example- if you
- scan on the word "flower", a list of flowers will be
- generated. Similarily, scanning on the word "Lat" will
- produce a list of Latin words and "Fr" would get French
- words/phrases. To get a list of dog breeds, you would scan
- on "dog". The SCAN feature permits searching on either a
- total word or partial word, referred to as EXCLUSIVE and
- INCLUSIVE. An exlcusive scan on "India" would list all
- records containing the word India. An inclusive scan on the
- same word would also include records which contain the word
- "Indian" and the list produced would include American Indian
- tribes as well as references to India.
-
- JORJ includes many entries not found in most desk-top
- dictionaries. Proper names, foreign words and phrases,
- weights/measures and items of general interest are
- available. Even a list of Baseball greats is generated by
- SCANNING on the word "Baseball".
-
- JORJ is an entirely new approach to using a dictionary.
