This program controls the Tools. It is the one which shows and alters current defaults, handles the choosing of text files, and calls up the different Tools.
It will appear at the top left corner of your screen.
You can minimise it, if you feel the screen is getting cluttered.
Concord is a program which makes a concordance using plain text or web text files.
To use it you will specify a search word, which Concord will seek in all the text files you have chosen. It will then present a concordance display, and give you access to information about collocates of the search word.
Listings can be saved for later use, edited, printed, copied to your word-processor, or saved as text files.
The purpose of this program is to locate and identify key words in a given text. To do so, it compares the words in the text with a reference set of words usually taken from a large corpus of text. Any word which is found to be outstanding in its frequency in the text is considered "key". The key words are presented in order of outstandingness.
The distribution of the key words can be plotted.
This program needs access to 2 or more word lists, which must be created first, using the Word List program.
WordList generates word lists based on one or more plain text or web text files. Word lists are shown both in alphabetical and frequency order. They can be saved for later use, edited, printed, copied to your word-processor, or saved as text files.
WordSmith Tools version 7 is for Windows XP or later, including Windows 7 and 8, 8.1, 10, and either 32 or 64-bit versions.
It will be happiest on a fairly modern laptop or desktop PC (e.g. ones bought in the last 4 years). Or an Intel Mac if you install Windows on it.
You will need 100 Mb disk-space and 1GB of RAM as a minimum.
