Miscellaneous Russian language resources

Abbyy Software This commercial site develops products for Russian linguists: OCR software, electronic dictionaries, more. Their products also sometimes are licensed to other vendors at reduced cost to the linguist. I recommend their OCR (called Finereader) and PC-based dictionary (Lingvo).
The American Translators Association Accreditation Program. How to sign up, what to expect, how much it costs, and more.
Automatic Cyrillic Converter. Type or paste text into the window, then convert to a new encoding.
Cyrillic word processor This now out-of-date program works something like the early DOS versions of Wordstar. Anything typed with it only can be read using the program itself. A way to "translate" the font to something readable is needed. On the other hand, when using the "download font" feature, it prints Cyrillic text really well. It is available here for historic purposes.
GW Slavic Department's List George Washington University has "shortened the list to general compilations" because of "a big-bang in the WorldWide Web in Russia."

SHER'S RUSSIAN INDEX A list of lists. It does not aim to duplicate the work of others but rather to make them all available under one roof.
