Improve productivity, and augment lexicography and terminology production and corpus work with new OpenAI GPT integration (shown here in the screenshot are entries for small humor dictionaries, e.g. English - Dutch, automatically generated by #GPT *) ? Use it for checking grammar, creating sample definitions, examples, sense lists, and much more ? Generate quick 'draft entries' and translations, allowing for more efficient dictionary compilation across multiple languages NB: Note that OpenAI integration requires the use of your own OpenAI "API key" (which you configure in the application settnigs under a new OpenAI section in the settings), and NB note that this is a third-party service (we are not responsible for the content generated, nor affiliated with OpenAI.) These AI language models are also still research models, and can and do generate incorrect info, especially with less-frequently-spoken languages, so the content needs checking, though can nonetheless be very useful to speed up and augment all language work. We encourage you to try it out. As always, thank you for your continued support of TLex. We are dedicated to providing the most powerful and effective lexicography software available, and feel OpenAI API integration helps take TLex to the next level. More improvements and features surrounding this are planned for upcoming releases To try the OpenAI integration use the latest version of TLex is now available for download from our website - for macOS just build .3333 or higher the usual way, i.e. via website download or 'Help / Check for updates'. For Windows users please try from this line: https://tshwanedje.com/builds/beta/ Please do purchase technical support from our site if you need assistance, this helps support us and and helps cover dev costs - likewise training etc. available to purchase from our site or custom services like data conversion or help with publishing dictionaries online etc., thanks Note that we unfortunately, as it has firstly become increasingly costly to keep this software maintained each year, as well as to be able to keep adding new features, and also given it's been an extremely long time since we charged for upgrades, we unfortunately are likely to have to start charging an upgrade fee for the latest new versions (though licenses purchased in the very recent past will get automatically updraded to the latest). Nobody will lose access to the software or go backwards in terms of current featureset, but you might just not get access to all of the latest new features (e.g. OpenAI integration, with automated and semi-automated AI-driven or AI-augmented compilation functionality, e.g. base entry creation). Thanks everyone for the understanding and support. We're also planning on Python integration, and this new version also has a low-power mode to help just slightly with battery use if you often work on battery. - David -------------- next part -------------- The following section of this message contains a file attachment prepared for transmission using the Internet MIME message format.
