About this feature

So far in the Lexeri web app, you have been able to check documents as PDF files to ensure that your terminology is used correctly.

Now you also have the option to check individual text sections or phrases from any system: a social media post before it’s published, a draft email, content from specific ERP fields, or from support systems. A finished file is not required for the terminology check.

Run a term check

  1. Open the Lexeri web app.
  2. In the main menu, click on Term checks > Start term check.

  1. The settings for the term check are preselected. Change the settings as needed:
  • The term database you last used for term checks is preselected.
  • When using multiple termbases, select the appropriate termbase in the upper-right corner.
  • The most recently used language is also preselected. Term matches for this language will be displayed. To check a text in another language, select the corresponding language. 
  • Use the plus icon to narrow down the results based on additional attributes from your termbase.

  1. Now enter the text you want to check for correct terminology, choosing one of the following options:
  • Place your cursor in the text editor and start typing right away.
  • Paste text from the clipboard or use the Paste from clipboard button.
  1. The term check starts automatically. Terms found in the text are displayed in a list of results on the right of the editor. Expand a result by clicking the arrow icon on the left or open the term entry by clicking the information icon on the right.
