Using a (Perl) module called… Well, I can't find it right now. It is possible to guess the language of a text. It does this by looking for and tabulating the number of various language stop words in a document. Once a language is determined, then different stop word lists can be applied to the document and the results ought to be better. Also, please remember, parsing the document into sentences and words is directly related to the quality of the underlying OCR. Such is a limitation I am not able to overcome. -- Eric
