Where the rules are insufficient (combined words, special expressions,
foreign words), they are corrected by program tables consisting of critical
letter combinations, word connections etc.

are of highest accuracy even with new word creations and foreign expressions,
and they are very fast.

not only split words with highest accuracy but also complicated combinations
of letters and other characters, combinations too numerous to be stored into
dictionaries, e.g. M./Laibach Hohl-(Decken-)Ziegel CAD-/CAM-School ISDN//Abo

Precisely often these missing hyphens are the joints between compound words and therefore just the
best quality hyphenations (DIHYPH ranking 1).
Such long unhyphenated letter strings are leading to distorted meaning and huge gaps in textlines !

DIHYPH-hyphenation does it much better !
