Flawless Term Extraction with TermCatch

Fodina TermCatch is a cloud- and AI-based platform for extracting terms and clustering synonyms into concepts, both for initial extraction and for the ongoing expansion of existing termbases.

Functions of Fodina TermCatch

TermCatch is a cloud-based and AI-enabled platform for extracting terms and clustering synonyms into concepts. Whether you are just starting your term extraction or looking to improve and grow your existing term bank efficiently, this is the tool for the job. This is how TermCatch does extraction and clustering:

  • Terminology mining: TermCatch collects terms from a broad range of source files using an AI-based extraction engine or by crawling online resources. 
  • Synonym management: TermCatch creates synonym clusters using AI and large language models.
  • Intelligent terminology management: TermCatch makes fact-based decisions  about terms to use or discard.
  • Integration with termbases: TermCatch publishes or updates standardized terms to termbases such as Kalcium Quickterm and author support systems like Acrolinx.
  • Continuous synchronization: TermCatch constantly synchronizes with published terms, allowing ongoing expansion and updates.
  • Terminology compliant content creation: TermCatch integrations, such as with Kalcium Checkterm or authoring systems like Acrolinx or Congree allow access to terms as content is first created.
  • Terminology transfers for multiple uses: TermCath connects not only with terminology systems, but also with translation tools and ERP, PIM, or PLM systems.

TermCatch streamlines the entire terminology lifecycle, from collection and standardization to publication, integration, and continuous updates. By harnessing AI, TermCatch efficiently extracts terms from diverse sources, intelligently clusters synonyms, and quickly enables informed decision-making on preferred terms. Seamless integrations ensure consistency across content creation, management, and publishing, maximizing the value of standardized terminology throughout your organization.

Afterwards, TermCatch forms synonym clusters based on AI and large language models, both for the initial creation of concept-oriented terminology as well as for the ongoing expansion of an existing termbase, such as Kalcium Quickterm.
