have, for more than 30 years now, been part of renowned typesetting-, text- and
publishing programs on all sorts of operating systems.
after years of development, provide the highest quality and variety, confirmed
by numerous comparative tests with other programs carried out by our clients.
are not dictionary-based but algorithm-based.
Algorithm means following the grammatical rules of each language.
Where the rules are inconclusive (combined words, special expressions,
foreign words), they are corrected by program tables consisting of critical
letter combinations, word connections etc.
being algorithm-based, the programs provide the utmost accuracy even with new
word creations and foreign expressions, and they are very fast.
not only split words with the highest level of accuracy, but also complicated
combinations of letters and other characters, combinations too numerous to be
stored into dictionaries. Especially with justified text, all possible hyphen-

Quality rankings are found using program-logic and -tables, working most
effectively on languages with a high number of combined words, prefixes,
suffixes etc.
without quality ranking
Each hyphen receives a quality ranking of 4.
without the Exception dictionary
All DIHYPH-programs are set up to give excellent results, even without
