Semantic Text Analysis features (Tropes)

• Automatic generation of hierarchical keywords (thesaurus generation)
• Automatic semantic and syntactic ambiguity solving
• Automatic semantic analysis and categorization
• Three-layer automatic concept classification
• Text Summarization
• Chronological discourse analysis
• Natural Language Ontology Manager with ready-to-use classifications (Scenarios)

• Maximum recommended size for a single text: 5,000 pages (50 Mb),
• Average analysis throughput: from 250 Kb to 1 Mb/second (on a single thread). Analysis throughput may be slower if you analyze complex PDF or Word 2007 documents.

Semantic Search Engine & Desktop Search features (Zoom)

• Automatic generation of hierarchical keywords (ontology or thesaurus generation)

• Integrated Web Spider
• Maximum number of indexed folder structures: unlimited
• Average text indexing throughput: from 1 to 4 Gb/hour (single thread, on a local HDD). Indexing throughput may be slower if you analyze complex PDF or Word 2007 documents.

Software requirements

• Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP, Vista or Seven (32 bits)
• A recent Web browser, Internet Explorer 6+ / Firefox 2 (or above)
• Adobe Reader (or equivalent PDF reader)

Minimum recommended configuration

Software	Processor	RAM memory	Disk space
Tropes Zoom LE (free version)	800 MHz	512 Mb	10 Mb
Tropes basic Pro	800 MHz	512 Mb (1)	100 Mb
Tropes Zoom Pro	1 GHz	1 Gb (2)	100 Mb
Overtext Web Module for Tropes Zoom	2 GHz	2 Gb	500 Mb
Overtext Index	2 GHz	2 Gb	2 Gb

(1) Under Windows Vista or Seven you must install a minimum of 1 Gb of RAM for correct performances.
(2) 2 Gb of RAM are recommended to perform decision-making analysis (on a significant number of indexed items) with Tropes Zoom.

Maximum capacity (theoretical)

Software	Text size	Number of files	Number of words	Raw Database Size
Tropes Zoom LE	64 Kb	100	100,000	100 files
Tropes (Pro)	100 Mb	10,000	10,000,000	-
Zoom (Pro)	100 Mb	4,000,000	40 trillions	2 Tb
Overtext Index	100 Mb	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited

By "unlimited", we mean that the theoretical capacity of these software packages widely exceeds what it is possible to handle on a present-day computer. Your computer naturally has limited capacities.

For Zoom, we show the theoretical maximum capacity for a single folder. But you can index an unlimited number of folder structures.

By Raw Database size, we mean the maximum theoretical capacity in terms of text files indexed by the software in a single folder. Of course, it may require terabytes of disk space.
