WebChoir Personal Tools provide solutions for standardizing terminology with tools for creating and using vocabularies and taxonomies.

·          vocPuppy is a MS Office™ add-in running under Microsoft Windows^® that inexpensively allows users to create lists of standardized terms (vocabularies) or terms arranged in a classified sequence (taxonomies) and integrate these into their everyday information creation and organization work.  By installing vocPuppy on the PC, a button is added to all MS Office applications (Word, Excel, etc.).  For example:

When you write emails, memos, project descriptions, plans, or presentations, you often wish you could open a list of custom terms for products, services, projects, programs, organizations, personnel, etc.  Sometimes a simple list in alphabetical order is sufficient (names of personnel), sometimes it would be more helpful if the list were arranged in some kind of specialized sequence (company divisions, departments, teams, etc.), sometimes it would be helpful to include cross-references or an indication from terms that are not used to the term that should be used.

vocPuppy offers solutions for the individual.  Use vocPuppy to create the lists you need in the sequences and with the added information that best serve your needs. When in an MS Office application, click the vocPuppy button, find the term or phrase needed, click it and it will be formatted and inserted directly into your document (spreadsheet, presentation, etc.). In addition to this personal solution, WebChoir also offers an Enterprise solution so that corporations can standardize terminology at the corporate level and individuals can use the vocPuppy Personal Tool for their personalized lists and be able to use personal lists as well as access enterprise terminology.

·          TCS-10 Personal is a vocabulary construction system that enables individuals to build sophisticated controlled vocabularies (thesauri, subject headings, classifications, topic maps, taxonomies, etc.) inexpensively and efficiently, and easily to transform any controlled vocabulary into browsable and linkable hierarchies.  TCS-10 Personal incorporates the strengths of TCS-10  for individual use.

WebChoir Personal Tools are based completely on Microsoft Windows^® architecture so that they can be used on any Windows-based PC.  Personal Tools manage vocabulary and taxonomy data using the database engine that is part of the Windows^® operating system. Personal Tools offer affordable vocabulary and taxonomy solutions.
