The next step is setting translation preferences and loading the dictionaries to be used. The system's main dictionary contains more than 100,000 entries covering the core vocabulary of English; the twenty-one optional Technical Dictionaries include more than 500,000 specialized terms from business, science, and technology. Users can also create their own User Dictionaries containing noun, verb, adjective, and adverb entries. Users can rank the loaded dictionaries to give priority to the entries in selected dictionaries. The final step in preprocessing is scanning the text for words not found in the dictionaries. This allows users to correct misspellings and add missing words to a User Dictionary before the text is translated.",

The Part of Speech commands allow users to guide the translation by grouping words into phrases; by assigning a part of speech to a word or phrase; and by marking words or phrases that should remain in English. The Alternate Word command displays every translation in every dictionary currently in use, allowing users to review alternative translations quickly and substitute one for the translation the system has chosen. The Translate Interactive command allows users to choose alternatives for the translation of a phrase or an entire sentence. This feature can be used to teach the system so that preferred translations are used during automatic translation. When any necessary revisions have been made, the translation can be printed or exported as a Japanese text file (in Shift-JIS format).",
