TT provides a platform for data entry, management, search, and export. Unlike offline alternatives, it is an online platform, editable and viewable by multiple users simultaneously. It allows for flexibility in data structures (the number of lines or tracks used in transcription/gloss/translation) and in the alphabetic characters that can be entered, searched, and exported (all (unicode) special characters are compatible). Upon entering data into passages, all words and morphemes are automatically added to a dictionary or concordance, available in the “Dictionary” tab and searchable in the “Word Search” tab via string or regex search.
