Novell Announces the Release of Natural Language Interface for Help Software Developers Kit Users to Benefit from Plain Language Help Interface WASHINGTON, D.C. -- October 30, 1996 -- Novell, Inc. today announced that the Novell Collexion™ Natural Language Interface for Help™ Software Developers Kit (NLIH SDK) will be available November 1, 1996. The Novell NLIH SDK is the first product on the market that lets software developers enhance their Windows Help systems with natural language access, using Novell's sophisticated Ask Me™ technology. Ask Me lets on-line Help users get answers to plain language questions. Users simply type in questions using their own words, and Ask Me invisibly translates each question into the right query and retrieves the most pertinent help topic. The result is faster, easier and more accurate access to any help system without guessing which terms to use. The Novell Collexion NLIH SDK provides the necessary tools for software developers to integrate Ask Me help access into any new or existing Windows help system. "The Novell NLIH SDK is the first product on the market that allows any software company to implement natural language help to any program," said Rudy Montigny, Vice President of Engineering. "This plain language technology will become the standard for help systems industry-wide." The NLIH SDK is currently available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch for all Windows 95 and NT help systems. The NLIH SDK is also compatible with the Microsoft Windows Help Workshop as well as other major help authoring systems.
