History

In 1983 ZyLAB was the first company providing a full-text search program for electronic files stored in the file system of IBM Compatible PC’s. The program was called ZyINDEX. The first version of ZyINDEX was written in Pascal and worked on MS-DOS. Subsequent programs were written in C, C++ and C# and work on a variety of Microsoft operating systems.

In 1991, ZyLAB Integrated ZyINDEX with an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) program Calera Wordscan, which was a spin off from Raymond Kurzweil’s first OCR implementation. This integration was called ZyIMAGE. ZyIMAGE was the first PC program to include a fuzzy string search algorithm to overcome scanning and OCR errors.

In 1998, ZyLAB developed support to full-text search email, including attachments.

In 2000, ZyLAB embraced the new XML standard, and created a full content management and records management system based on the XML standard and build a full solution for e-discovery, historical archives, records management, document management, email archiving, contract management, and professional back-office solutions.

In 2003, ZyLAB invested in expanding the ZyIMAGE product suite with advanced Text analytics, Text mining, data visualization, computational linguistics, and automatic translation.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
    —Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
