Technologies

Textual aims to tap a variety of both developing and mature technologies to help make computers more intelligent. Here are some of the powerful technologies that have been traditionally ignored by software developers:

  • Computational Linguistics — While understanding human speech and writing is a long way off, when context is restricted computers are often capable of understanding people's intentions given what they are typing or reading. Using an understanding of usage habits and the proper application of basic linguistic rules and correlations, computers can interact with their users on a level closer to their native language.
  • Machine Learning — Much research has been done and is ongoing in the fields of neural networks and expert systems. While fully autonomous robots with the ability to learn are still science fiction, these technologies can often be applied in limited situations with astounding effectiveness. Decision systems and neural networks can make computers very good at learning how to solve particular well-defined problems.
  • Human Factors — The military jump-started the field of human factors with efforts to make combat equipment and procedures natural and easy to use for soldiers so that they would be more efficient fighters. Human factors, more than just biometrics and ergonomics, is the understanding of how people naturally interact with things in the world around them. From grouping frequently used controls together, to designing new user interfaces so that they are similar to things people use every day.

Methodology

While many of today's software companies are selling their products by marketing insignificant new features as must-haves, Textual's solutions are offered at face value, without excessive hype and misleading "special offers". The clean and usable design of our web site is part of this methodology.

Resources

Textual's core competency is integrating work in a variety of fields to produce a better, more well-rounded solution to a problem than has previously existed. At the base of this is a strong background in practical computer programming for many platforms, needed to cleanly and efficiently implement the developed solutions. In addition, Textual has ready access to a network of consultants and experts in the fields of Computational Linguistics, Human Factors, Machine Learning, and Interaction Design.
