The back-of-book index creation system

Semi-automatic indexing for quality-conscious indexers and authors
With TExtract you create the back-of-book index for the printed or digital edition of your publication in three steps, using a unique combination of automated and manual indexing:
- The initial index is created fully automatically; running through the text to add or mark index terms is not needed. Just drop a PDF or paged plain text version of your document onto TExtract.
- You edit the index using powerful in-context navigation, selection and text editing features, available in no other software.
- Then you export the formatted index, review it and include it in your document.
Working with TExtract, the indexing process is supported from the outset by the index itself. But you, the indexer, are in control. Your index can be ready within several hours - but you can spend as much time as you think necessary. Read more about the features of TExtract.
TExtract will appeal to professional indexers, editors and authors who want high-quality indexes while having to meet deadlines. It is also great for indexers who want a tool to give them a jump-start. You will value TExtract's powerful application of authority files, its navigation, editing and formatting functions that provide full control over index contents, its standards support, and its export formats that enable further processing by other software.
