    The CTF Loader or ctfmon.exe (User Input Services) process is installed as part of the Microsoft Office suite as well as general Windows updates. This process is responsible for enabling the User’s Alternative Text Input Processor (TIP) as well as the Microsoft Office language bar which is essential for translation as well as speech and text recognition plus other user input technologies.

    It loads with Windows and continues to run in the background even if all Office applications have been closed and it monitors all active Windows windows to provide text input services.
