# Orange Textable documentation

Textable is an add-on for Orange data mining software package. It enables users to build data tables on the basis of text data, by means of a flexible and intuitive interface. It offers in particular the following features:

- import text data from various sources
- apply systematic recoding operations
- apply analytical processes such as segmentation and annotation
- manually, automatically or randomly select unit subsets
- build concordances and collocation lists
- compute quantitative indices such as frequency and complexity measures

Textable was designed and implemented by LangTech Sarl on behalf of the department of language and information sciences (SLI) at the University of Lausanne.
