What is Sketch Engine?

Sketch Engine is the ultimate tool to explore how language works. Its algorithms analyze authentic texts of billions of words (text corpora) to identify instantly what is typical in language and what is rare, unusual or emerging usage. It is also designed for text analysis or text mining applications.

Sketch Engine is used by linguists, lexicographers, translators, students and teachers. It is a first choice solution for publishers, universities, translation agencies and national language institutes throughout the world.

Sketch Engine contains 500 ready-to-use corpora in 90+ languages, each having a size of up to 50 billion words to provide a truly representative sample of language.

If it works it's interesting - but in the pricing section there are no offers for individuals who aren't either affiliated with an academic institution or some kind of professionals. So now I just wait for Google to come up with a similar thing for free (maybe as an extension to Google Translate).
