Tekstipõhises

Tekstipõhises is an Estonian term meaning "text-based." It is formed from the noun tekst and the suffix -põhine, and is used to describe systems, formats, or approaches that rely primarily on written text rather than images, audio, or other media. The term is common in technical and academic language and appears in expressions such as tekstipõhine kasutajaliides (text-based user interface), tekstipõhises vormis esitatav teave (information presented in a text-based form), and tekstipõhine dokumentatsioon (text-based documentation).

In computing, tekstipõhised interfaces were prevalent in early computers and persist in modern command-line environments, where text remains primary due to its simplicity, speed, and portability. The concept is also used in information design to contrast text-based content with graphical or multimedia formats, such as tekstipõhine esitlus (text-based presentation) or tekstipõhine andmestik (text-based dataset).

In linguistics and digital humanities, tekstipõhine analysis refers to methods and conclusions drawn from textual data, corpora, and written records rather than multimedia content or structured metadata. In education and media studies, the term helps classify materials and approaches that emphasize written text over visuals, audio, or interactive elements. Overall, tekstipõhises marks a clear distinction between text-centered and non-text-centered modalities across various disciplines.
