-------- DESCRIPTION --------

Cognatex detects cognates in texts written in different languages by using
orthographic similarity measure(OSM) algorithms, to calculate a similarity index, 
and online translation webservices (Google and DictServ) to check if the word 
translations match.

-------- TEXT TAGGER --------

Cognatex uses a third party tagger. For detailed info please refer to the HTML
documentation. 

-------- USAGE --------

In order to get results you must specify values for the parameters in the config.ini
file and provide two aligned texts(datasets) in different languages. After you entered
the parameters in the config.ini file and started the programm, just pass the two
datasets using the browse buttons at the top of the user interface. Then check the
osm algorithms you wannt to use and select or turn off the webservice. You must also
provide an output file where the results will be stored. You can turn off the webservices
if you want to, but this will decrease the accuracy of the results. After you start the 
process, be sure to check the log file (located in the logs folder). If anything goes wrong
there will be a message displayed in the statusbar of the user interface. A detailed info
about what went wrong will be stored in the log file.
