Author Topic: Keyword Comparison Tool (Read 24761 times)

I had been looking for a nice online tool to compare keyword lists but couldn't find one so I ended up building one myself. I don't know if it is very useful for others as I built it to serve what I needed it to do.. but if you find it useful, feel free to use it.

I am also open to feedback

Here's what it can do
*Finds similar keywords in the two lists
*Finds keywords only in list one and only in list two
*Removes all duplicate keywords in both lists
*Creates a combined list of words
*Counts the keywords in each list
*everything happens 'live', so it is very quick to use

I have found it useful when I have a base group of keywords for a set of images and want to add a few keywords. I can just type the keywords in the list 2 and any potential duplicates will be removed.
I also have some of my images keyworded for me. I use the tool to to check the list. I keyword a few of the images myself and then compare my list and the list I paid for and see what words I missed and what words they missed.

Anyhow, here is the link.

with possibly more keywording tools to come in the future.

update:
There is also now a keyword research tool here

Very useful and VERY quick! I used it to compare keywords generated by the three keywording sites I know (dusegard, findphotokeywords and Yuri's). As for the most important keywords, the results were of the same quality (dusegard slightly better).
I wouldn't know how to improve this, it really works well, thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot Leaf, it solves a lot of problems if you have similar but not totally identical images. Well done.

luissantos84 · « **Reply #8 on:** May 26, 2011, 06:11 »

because there isnt anything more simple, I guess if a person opens it and tries it, will see no??

grp_photo · « **Reply #9 on:** May 26, 2011, 06:12 »

cool tool
- thanks Leaf :-)

grp_photo · « **Reply #10 on:** May 26, 2011, 07:02 »

One improvement please: if keywords are separated by comma the tool should recognize this and leave combined keywords unsplitted.
Example:
Lawn, Field, Leisure Games, Conspiracy,
The keyword 'Leisure Games' shouldn't be splitted into leisure and games.
Thanks!

yeah, perhaps. I just made the 'result' boxes a darker gray which helps a bit. Before, when they were all white it may have been hard to know which boxes were 'input' boxes and which were 'result' boxes.

Yeah, I agree with you. The way it works like it does now is because I was trying to remove unwanted spaces in the list (before words and such) I should have a better error check system in place.

edit: Now it works like it should. If you have the word "banana split" it won't be separated. So the tool doesn't split using spaces anymore.

Very useful.
Is it possible to sort combined keywords alphabetically?

Yes, it will be staying online and always be free.
@Suljo .. yeah that should be pretty simple... i think

*Finds similar keywords in the two lists -> Yes, only for one word and only in full version (Yuri)
*Finds keywords only in list one and only in list two -> No, but Why?
*Removes all duplicate keywords in both lists -> Yes
*Creates a combined list of words -> Yes, but only in full version (Yuri)
*Counts the keywords in each list -> Yes
*everything happens 'live', so it is very quick to use -> Yes, it's live in keywords IPTC in image, but program needs create database list of images for other features (yet)

ok.. alphabetical sorting is now an option. There is an A symbol on the top right, again everything happens dynamically.

Very useful tool！I often search keyword using Yuri's tool for SS and another tools for IS, This camparison tool is very useful and easy found the difference between those two results. Thanks
