Need Help!!!

Jun 13, 2010 9:20PM PDT

Hey evereone! Please, help me!
I've heard about Intellexer Categorizer? which as it is said helps to categorize docs. I need this kind of soft for my classes. Does anyone know, how many documents can I categorize at once using this soft?

Have you tried it?

It was too easy for me to find out that I have to wonder why you posted.

From their FAQ;
http://categorizer.intellexer.com/faq.html

How many documents can I categorize at once?

There are some limitations in the current version of Intellexer Categorizer. They are:

1. You can create up to 30 categories for one project;
2. Maximum amount of documents in a single project cannot exceed 300

Hi,

I have used this Categorizer for my work, and I was happy with it. This tool is quite useful to me.

Does anyone know any alternative? Cause doing it manually is really waste of time...

Maybe it would be useful ...

if you would explain your needs.

For example:
I receive emails in Thunderbird. I want to automatically classify them as spam and no-spam. Spam messages should be moved to the spam folder immediately after reception.

Or do you have other documents? And other classification criteria? And other things you want to do with the classified documents?

The problem is,that I have a deal not with spam. I just have the pile of documents (different topics)in my computer. And I need them to be divided into categories (for ex, economics, sports, news and so on). So that in future I could work with one particular category. Do you see what I mean?

That's a problem to do it automatically, the more so because you don't say how the results of the categorization process should be processed.

For example, let me suppose you want to MOVE a document about football sport to a folder My Documents\sport\football and a news document from 2007 to a folder My Documents\news\2007. Now consider a news document abort football from 2007. Where should it be moved to?

And, of course, it's rather difficult for a computer to decide that a document about World Championship 2010 South Africa France Zidane is about the French football team and should be classified as a football document, if the word "football" isn't even the document because every reader knows that he is a footballer.

So I'm afraid it just a question of starting with organizing your documents manually. It's a lot of work, but just the kind of work that you should have been doing from the moment you started collection this documents.

Maybe you even need a full fledged DMS (Document Management System) where you can tag all your documents with keywords. That can't be done in all Windows OS's, although Windows 7 libraries are kind of a start. But Microsoft Sharepoint Server should be better.
