Terminology Extraction Tool
What is a terminology extraction tool?
A term extractor is a tool that offers automatic terminology extraction of a text to create a list of relevant terms. Also known as terminology mining, this operation simplifies the process of creating glossaries. In Wordbee, terminology can be presented in several ways, ranging from simple glossaries to complex concept-based termbases, which means that all the terms, their variants, synonyms and target-language equivalents designating a single concept are stored in a single terminological entry.

Easy sharing and collaboration | You can share the results of any terminology extraction in an Excel template for your team of terminology editors and localizers to easily clean-up the results, coin the right terminology and keep terms and concepts documented. These templates are available in any term collection so as to ease the creation of termbases with terms and convenient examples. |
