Q: Do you have a cracked version of WordSmith for download?
A: No. WordSmith is a copyright product published by the Oxford University Press. It is protected by the copyright law.

Q: Where can I order a copy of WordSmith?
A: You can download the demo version of WordSmith from Mike Scott’s website (http://www.lexically.net/wordsmith/index.html). But you have to purchase a registration/activation code from the Oxford University Press or Lexically before you enjoy the full functionalities of the tool package.

Q: What are the differences between WordSmith 3 and 4?
A: In theory, anything WS3 can do WS4 can do better. WS4 has far fewer limitations, such as the number of concordance lines, etc. There are not supposed to be any functions which you can do in WS3 which are not in WS4 too. There are a whole lot of new functions and tools in WS4 too.

Q: How much will WordSmith 4 cost?
A: The single user licence for WordSmith 4 costs 50 pounds. Site licences are much more expensive.

Q: I have a legitimate and valid registration code for WordSmith 3, can I get a discount if I upgrade to WordSmith 4?
A: Yes. You can email your purchase details (your name, address, and the registration code) to the Oxford University Press and ask for a registration code for WordSmith 4. In that case, you will pay 10 pounds for a single user licence.

Q: Can WordSmith cope with Chinese corpora?
A: You can make concordances using WordSmith 3 if you have a Chinese Windows system or a language pack supporting Chinese. But other functions do not work reliably with Chinese data.

WordSmith 4 is Unicode-based, which means that it can work with all languages in the world reliably as long as your data is converted from native encodings into Unicode. The new Text Converter function in WordSmith 4 can do the conversion very easily.

A: 抱歉。WordSmith是牛津大学出版社出版的一款受版权保护的软件产品。

Q: 我从哪里可以定购到WordSmith?

Q: WordSmith 3(WS3)和WordSmith 4(WS4)有哪些区别?
A: 就理论上而言,所有WS3可以办到的WS4都可以做得更好。WS4限制条件更少,比如索引行的数目等。应当不会有哪项功能在WS3中可以实现而在WS4中却无法实现。WS4中还新增了一整套功能和工具。

Q: 购买WordSmith 4需要多少钱?
A: WordSmith 4单人用户许可需要50英镑。在线(多用户)许可则要贵很多。

Q: 要是我已经有一个合法有效的WordSmith3注册码,那我要想从WordSmith3升级到WordSmith4是否可以享受打折优惠呢?
A: 是可以的。您可以将先前购买时提供的个人信息(姓名、地址和注册码)通过email寄给牛津大学出版社并索要WordSmith4的注册码。这样的话,您只需支付10英镑就可以获得一个单人用户许可。

Q: WordSmith可以处理汉语语料吗?
A: 如果您的操作系统是中文或者有支持中文的语言包的话,您可以用WordSmith 3进行关键词索引。但是其他功能像生成词表、计算词簇等功能则未必有效。详见:http://www.corpus4u.com/forum_view.asp?forum_id=7&view_id=420

而WordSmith 4是基于Unicode的,这个Unicode实际上是Unicode-16。据此,只要您将语料的编码形式转换为Unicode,便可以有效地处理实际上的任何语言。WordSmith 4中新增的Text Converter 功能可以很容易地进行这种转换。
