What is Cysgliad?

Cysgliad is a software package for your PC. The package includes two main programs:

Cysill

Cysill is a program that identifies and corrects language errors in your Welsh-language documents. It can identify mistyping, misspelling and grammatical errors, including incorrect mutation. In addition to suggesting corrections when needed, the program explains the nature of grammar mistakes when encountered so as to help you avoid making the same mistake in the future

Cysill also includes a mouseover dictionary, which shows the translation of words when hovered over.

Cysill also includes a thesaurus which helps you find different words with similar meanings – a perfect way to improve your vocabulary!

Working together with Microsoft Word, Open Office.org and other programs

Cysill and Cysgeir can work as stand-alone programs or as applications called from within Microsoft Word (including Word 2007) or Open Office.org 2.3 using buttons located on the tool bar.
The two programs can also work with other programs that allow text editing, using hotkeys which facilitate moving text from one program to the other.
