Tekstipohjaiselta

Tekstipohjaiselta is a Finnish word that translates to "text-based" in English. It is used to describe systems, interfaces, or processes that rely primarily on text for input and output. This contrasts with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) which utilize visual elements like icons, windows, and menus.

In computing, text-based interfaces are often found in command-line interfaces (CLIs) where users type commands to interact with the operating system or applications. Examples include the command prompt in Windows or the terminal in macOS and Linux. These interfaces are known for their efficiency and power, allowing experienced users to perform complex tasks quickly.

Text-based systems can also refer to content that is presented in written form, such as articles, documents, or messages, as opposed to audio or visual media. In educational contexts, "tekstipohjaiselta" might describe learning materials that are primarily composed of written text. The term can also be applied to research methods that analyze textual data. The emphasis is always on the written word as the primary medium of information exchange.
