SymbolChooser is a professional application designed to enable you to type documents in any language or even to create a new language with a new alphabet and new symbols.
The SymbolChooser word processor is especially useful to Conlang (Constructed Language) enthusiasts who desire to invent new languages and symbols. Conlang enthusiasts may have a keen interest in the study of human language and in the process of developing new languages; or they may be developing a new language for international communication or sending coded messages.
SymbolChooser gives Conlangers more freedom in creating languages because it allows created languages to be distributed in a standard program format whether these languages use the Latin alphabet or an entirely new created alphabet.
SymbolChooser is without equal as a word processor that integrates custom symbol creation with the standard operations that word processor users have come to expect.
People who construct languages can use SymbolChooser to create symbols and assign them to the keyboard layout of documents so that these symbols become the alphabet for that document and the alphabet for all documents of their constructed language.
This replaces current methods people use that involve assigning user created symbols to keystrokes using a tedious combination of two separate word processors or symbol creation programs. These other techniques to create symbols are much more complicated and restricted in their usage.
