The sample above was created in Visual Basic 6 using ActiveGender to demonstrate how powerful itsformatting and gender identification features are. Find it in the download as SAMPLE01.EXE. Features
Product DetailsUsing the parse feature, you can accept free-form names and then let ActiveGender automatically split each name into standard components: Prefix, First, Middle, Last and Suffix no matter what the original format. Next, using a 100,000+ name look-up table in combination with an 8,000+ word proprietary company table, the gender is determined with precision. In fact, you control the whole process through special tables that you can easily customize. ActiveGender can process all styles of names including inverse, natural order, hyphenated and multi-part last names. Multiple names in the same field and companies can be easily separated providing you with powerful formatting control. A special Gender flag is returned each time a name is processed allowing you to identify companies as well as partial names before they get into your system. Custom salutations become a snap. As a bonus, when you combine ActiveGender with our ActiveAddress product, you can tackle even the impossible task of identifying data that has been entered free-form. The names, addresses and C/S/Z "float" from field to field or you are just not sure what's in the field. First, examine the Address_Quality flag returned from ActiveAddress. If set to High or Medium, it's almost certainly an address. If set to Low, submit the string to ActiveGender for name verification. Using this technique youll always be certain of the data you're working with. A Word About Gender CodingNot all gender identification systems are created the same. Most use a simple table of about 8,000 to 18,000 first names. ActiveGender uses an extensive 100,000+ name lookup table that was specially created with a rich ethnic diversity. ActiveGender also uses a unique gender percentage factor. This factor is based on the proportion of males to females for a particular name. This allows the programmer to set the point at which certain names such a "Chris" or "Dale" will be returned as a neutral gender. See Gender_Confidence property in the User Guide. ActiveGender then applies the pre-programmed rules from an 8,000+ word Company Table to yield astonishing accuracy. This unique and powerful strategy produces results unmatched by any other software. How ActiveGender WorksActiveGender starts by meticulously identifying each individual name element based on the Name_Style youve selected. Intuitive algorithms examine the results and a selection is made of the most complete and correct data. Next, the name elements are split according to Name_Style and the user-specified prefix/suffix abbreviations are applied. If not already coded by the gender override table, the gender is now determined according to the 100,000 name system gender table. The Name_Quality flag is then set to indicate how complete and correct the name is. Finally, the standardized name components are returned to your application along with a complete and cleansed composite name. ActiveGender is the ONLY name verification and parsing software that can reliably extract a name when the format of the name is variable or unknown. Examples
