LD distance is the so called Levenstein-Dammereau distance, a metric +for how much a given word differs from another. More details on this can +be found in this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance wiki +article. Word length is the minimum length of words to be considered, you +can use this to skip articles. Search window is how far you will look forward +of backward when you have found a word. For instance, when one sentence is +"aaaa bbbb cccc dddd" in the source text and "aaaa dddd" in the destination +text, then it will be considered a valid match when the window is 3. +Word skip allow this much words to be skipped in the source text, for instance +"aaaa bbbb cccc dddd" will match "aaaa cccc dddd" when the word skip is 1, +allowing to skip "bbbb" in the source. Result length will finally filter on +how long (in words) the resulting match should be. + +You can click compare to start comparing a text, which can take quite long. +However, once you have found a result, you can search within this result, which +will be much faster. So I would advise to search with relatively broad parameters +such as a low minimum result length in the beginning and refine this to more +strick parameters afterwards. + +Finally, when a result is found, it will be indicated in both source and +destination texts and you can click on either one to see the corresponding +fragment. </pre>Jan KeymeulenFri, 06 Jul 2012 19:48:31 -0000https://sourceforge.net9b6a15d0edd598eade3549278410058623139be6https://sourceforge.net/p/textcomparer/wiki/Home/Welcome to your wiki!
