NAME

       ucto - Unicode Tokenizer

SYNOPSYS

       ucto [[options]] [input-file] [[output-file]]

DESCRIPTION

       ucto ucto tokenizes text files: it separates words from punctuation, splits sentences (and
       optionally paragraphs), and finds paired quotes.  Ucto is preconfigured with  tokenisation
       rules for several languages.

OPTIONS

       -c configfile
              read settings from a file

       -d value
              set debug mode to 'value'

       -e value
              set input encoding. (default UTF8)

       -f
              disable filtering of special characters

       -L language
               Automatically  selects  a  configuration  file  by  language code.  e.g. 'fr' will
              select the file tokconfig-fr from the installation directory

       -l
              Convert to all lowercase

       -u
              Convert to all uppercase

       -n
              Emit one sentence per line on output

       -m
              Assume one sentence per line on input

       --passthru
              Don't tokenize, but perform input decoding and simple token role detection

       -P
              Disable Paragraph Detection

       -Q
              Enable Quote Detection. (this is experimental and may lead to unexpected results)

       -S
              Disable Sentence Detection

       -s <string>
              Set End-of-sentence marker. (Default <utt>)

       -V
              Show version information

       -v
              set Verbose mode

       -F
              Read a FoLiA XML document, tokenize it, and output the modified doc. (this disables
              usage of most other options: -nulPQvsS)

       --textclass cls
              When tokenizing a FoLiA XML document, search for text nodes of class 'cls'

       -X
              Output FoLiA XML. (this disables usage of most other options: -nulPQvsS)

       --id <DocId>
              Use the specified Document ID for the FoLiA XML

       -x <DocId> (obsolete)
              Output FoLiA XML, use the specified Document ID. (this disables usage of most other
              options: -nulPQvsS)

              obsolete Use -X and --id instead
