Concordance: key features and abilities of the software
Concordance lets you:
- Count words, make wordlists, word frequency lists, and indexes
- Make full concordances showing every word in its context. Use texts of any size, limited only by available disk space and memory
- Make fast concordances, picking your selection of words from text
- Make concordances from other Windows programs via the Clipboard
- Use multiple input files
- Make Web Concordances: turn your concordance into linked HTML files, ready for publishing on the Web, with a single click. See the original Web Concordances for examples.
- View a full wordlist, a concordance, and your original text simultaneously
- Browse through the original text and click on any word to see every occurrence of that word in its context
- Edit and re-arrange a wordlist by drag and drop
- Lemmatise - group together any words you choose.
