About
EverWords is being developed by Royal Academy of Galician Language and Barrie Foundation as a result of the expertise gained from the launching of Words Portal (Portal das Palabras). It was created to facilitate the building of sites around a vocabulary related project.
EverWords is about words. Whether you have an online dictionary or you simple are focused on improving the lexical awareness of a specific language EverWords could provide different solutions from a simple site where you can communicate with your target audience and get feed-back from them to the main entrance to your electronic dictionary.
Being the underlying technology of Portal das Palabras the best way to see a practical development of EverWords is to visit it or to watch the following presentation (subtitles in Catalan, English, Euskara, Galician and Spanish):
