Full Design Flexibility

Toolbox is essentially a text-oriented database management system tailored for field linguists. It comes with pre-configured database definitions for typical dictionary and text corpus setups, while also offering full flexibility for custom designs.

Browse View

Toolbox’s DBMS includes powerful functionalities like customized sorting, multiple database views, and a browse view to display data in a tabular format. It supports multiple scripts within the same database, each with its unique font and sorting characteristics, and is compatible with both Unicode and legacy encoding systems.

Web dictionary

Toolbox includes a robust morphological parser and a word formula component to describe various affix patterns. It allows for the generation of interlinear text, exportable for use in linguistic papers, and supports the export of dictionary databases into publishable formats, exemplified by the Online Tlingit Verb Dictionary.
