I am pleased to announce the release of Version 3.0 of
Concordance.
Concordance gives you better insight into electronic texts. For
Windows 95/98/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP, Concordance is a text
analysis program which makes word lists and concordances from
electronic text. First released in 1999, Concordance now has
registered users in 41 countries and is the leading software of its
kind.
Concordance lets you track all occurrences of any word and
examine meaning, word usage, vocabulary, and idiom. Useful in
language learning, linguistics, language engineering, translation,
lexicography, natural language software development, and for
content analysis in many disciplines. With a single click you can
turn your results into a Web Concordance ready for publishing on
the Web.
