Press Release
28 May 2002
Toronto, ON - 28 May 2002 -
Qvadis announces the public release of Lexica, the newest in its line of best-in-class
software applications for users of Palm-powered handheld devices.
Qvadis Lexica is a powerful reference viewer and multilingual dictionary and translator,
allowing fast search and translation
of tens of thousands of keywords between English and French, German, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese,
with other languages in preparation.
The Lexica system consists of a free dictionary-style browser, and a set of user-selectable
language modules, containing the databases for one-way and two-way translation.
The free Lexica browser is designed to the same Zen-like usability standard set by Express Reader,
Qvadis' award-winning ebook reader. Lexica also boasts fast look-up, a configurable split-screen,
support for color and grayscale devices, user-editable keywords and definitions,
on-the-go handheld creation of new dictionaries, keyword-and-translation beaming,
multiple dictionary support, and innovative data compression technology
that makes the most of limited handheld memory.
"Qvadis' mission has always been to make your valuable information 'pocket ready',"
said Sam Peralta, CEO of Qvadis. "Lexica extends this vision by putting high-value reference guides
in the pockets of mobile professionals."
Qvadis is best known for its popular, award-winning Qvadis Express Reader Pro desktop publisher
and palmtop ebook reader suite, which has won numerous Editor's Choice awards in industry
magazines and on the Web.
Qvadis also offers an extensive ebook library and bookstore,
and its recently-acquired Editio-Books subsidiary publishes original content for handheld devices.
With Lexica - envisioned to eventually include a thesaurus, phrase books,
glossaries, encyclopedias, and other reference material - Qvadis solidifies its position
as a leader in the emerging mobile applications industry.
