Sketch Engine is a corpus manager and analysis software has developed by Lexical Computing since 2003. This software consists of three main components which enable to search and build text corpora.
- Bonito – a graphical user interface to corpora maintained, see the changelog of Bonito
- Manatee – a corpus management tool including corpus building and indexing, fast querying and providing basic statistical measures, see the changelog of Manatee
- FinLib – fast indexing library
A brief overview of the main changes in FinLib is listed here.
In January 2018, the FinLin library was incorporated into Manatee (version 2.156.6).
