Qvadis Releases Lexica Pro for Palm-Powered Handhelds

Toronto, ON - 28 October 2002 - Qvadis today unveiled Lexica Pro for Palm-powered devices, providing handheld users with more expansive multilingual translation capability at the tap of a stylus.

Recently recognized for Innovative Technology Achievement by the Digital Literature Institute, Qvadis is best known for its award-winning Express Reader ebook viewer. Qvadis recently launched Lexica, a reference viewer, multilingual dictionary and translator system, which has quickly become one of the most popular dictionary systems for Palm-based devices.

Lexica Pro expands the power of the system, bundling the dictionary viewer with Qvadis' most popular language modules, enabling bi-directional translation between English and French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese.

"Lexica Pro is customer-designed software," said Sam Peralta, CEO of Qvadis. "What they told us was they wanted our most popular languages in a single affordable bundle. That's Lexica Pro."

The Lexica viewer is designed to the same high standard of usability set by 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, and innovative data compression technology that makes the most of limited handheld memory. An upcoming update - nearly out of beta - promises expansion-card-compatibility as a free upgrade for current users.
