About ABBYY Lingvo


HISTORY

ABBYY Lingvo is a software product of ABBYY, a leading developer of linguistic, OCR, and document capture software.

In 1989 David Yang, then an undergraduate student of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and the programmer Alexander Moskalyov started work on an electronic dictionary - a computer program that would translate English words and phrases into Russian. In a radical break with tradition, they conceived an innovative system of dictionary cards, i.e. independent windows used to display dictionary entries. One year later Lingvo (the word means "language" in Esperanto) hit the bookshelves and became ABBYY’s first commercial product. 17 years on, ABBYY Lingvo has grown into a high-quality multifunctional translation tool which is used for work and study by more than 5 million people.
