Gowell Software, the Hong Kong-based subsidiary of Gowell Corporation in the United States, is a leader in Chinese language technology. Gowell supports the widespread adoption of an alphabetic system for the Chinese language. With foundation in Hanyu Pinyin (standard Chinese romanized text), our tools and techniques enhance the efficiency of the Chinese language. Gowell's software products are a result of years of research collaboration among language professionals and computer specialists in Canada, the U.S. and China. Gowell software products range from Chinese language processing to Putonghua (Mandarin Chinese) language education. Gowell tools, such as the Dianpin input method and ASCII Chinese, all incorporate advanced linguistic approaches. By utilizing information from spoken Chinese along with certain grammatical features, Dianpin successfully overcomes the homophone problem inherent in Pinyin, serving as a highly efficient input method for both traditional and simplified Chinese texts. ASCII Chinese, a set of single-byte representative codes, allows for bi-directional and accurate conversion of traditional and simplified Chinese texts, sorting of Chinese in Pinyin order as well as the processing of Chinese on non-Chinese systems. Dianpin and ASCII Chinese are powerful language tools in global markets. Gowell's Putonghua educational products feature a focus on phonetics and a word-based approach to Chinese. Combining leading technologies such as text-to-speech with decades of linguistics research, our Hanyu Pinyin-based multimedia systems have become leading Chinese language educational products used by many leading academic institutions, governments and corporations.
