| comiText examines texts on Eastern Europe |
- You have before you a text which deals with a political or economic question from Eastern Europe. You would like to know whether the source of the text is reliable or whether what lies behind it is an extremist group. comiText can in many cases give you an answer to this question.
- Your Eastern European business partner finds himself in the field of fire of the press in his home country. You want to know whether a serious problem exists or if it’s just another media campaign. comiText follows the matter on your behalf and can in most cases describe for you the true facts.
- You are irritated by a press article because it describes a different version of events in Eastern Europe than other media reports; different also than your own experiences. comiText can at least explain to you wherein these differences in perception lie.

| comiText provides information on the fine points of languages |
- You have started to familiarize yourself with an Eastern European language and are proceeding well with learning it. You want an explanation, however, of some of the, for you, strange linguistic irregularities. (Why in Russian is a noun following the number five in the genitive plural? Why do Russians use the Bulgarian alphabet and not viceversa?) comiText provides you with short or detailed information and in so doing lightens for you the task of learning the language.
- The name of a person close to you is one you have rarely heard. You want to know where it comes from, and if it has an equivalent in more familiar languages. comiText explains personal names (and if desired place names) and sets them in their cultural and historical context.
