Fodina TermCatch

Fodina TermCatch is a cloud-based platform that allows you to extract terminology from documents or online resources and compare it against existing lists and termbases. The software collects terms from a broad range of source files using an AI-based extraction engine or by crawling online resources. The captured terms are automatically reduced to their basic form and enriched with metadata.

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.

TermCatch

• Identifies and extracts terminology from online and offline content using AI and LLMs
• Finds and clusters together synonyms and variants of concepts
• Makes fact-based decisions on which terms should or should not be used
• Publishes or updates your standardized terms in termbases such as Kalcium Quickterm and author support systems such as Acrolinx
• Runs in your web browser

• Fewer misunderstandings among audiences and translators
• Reduced translation costs
• Increased quality of both source and target language texts
• Strengthened company profile
