  • searching one or more words with wildcards in one or more authors using various context types and excluding certain forms,
  • creating concordances of one or more authors and
  • comparing texts.
  • LECTOR is able to perform more than one action at a time, i.e. at the same time your PC is preparing a concordance you will be able to do a word search in another author.
