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.

Flexible, powerful textual analysis:

  • Works with nearly all languages supported by Windows. (Not every feature may work with ideogrammatic or right-to-left languages.)
  • User-definable alphabet: lets you control what's recognised as a word
  • User-definable reference system: identifies which section of a text each citation comes from
  • User-definable contexts: words are shown in contexts which you can vary by length or sense-unit.
  • Select and sort words in very flexible ways
  • Search for phrases, do proximity searches, sample words, and do regular expression searches
  • Statistics on your text: word types, tokens, & percentages. Type/token ratio. Character and sentence counts
  • Stop Lists let you specify words to be omitted from your concordance
  • Word length chart.
  • Full print preview and printing, with control over page size, margins, headers, footers, fonts etc.
  • Save and export concordances as plain text, as a single HTML file, or as a Web Concordance.

Comprehensive text tools:

  • Built-in file viewer can display files of unlimited size

  • File conversion tools - from OEM to ANSI character sets and from Unix to PC files.

High usability:

  • Easy user interface with good use of Windows features
  • Context-sensitive help system with 150 topics
  • Runs fast - can pick 15000 occurrences of a word from a 1.5MB text in under 4 seconds on a slow computer (600MHz Pentium III). Can make and display a full concordance to the Complete Works of Shakespeare (a million words of input text, 115MB concordance output) in around 40 seconds on a fast computer (3GHz Core2 Duo)
  • Native 32-bit object-oriented programming throughout for speed and stability.
