tekstipõhistes

Tekstipõhistes is an Estonian term that translates to "text-based" or "textual" in English. It refers to systems, applications, or interactions that primarily utilize text as their medium of communication or operation. This can encompass a wide range of scenarios, from simple command-line interfaces and chatbots to more complex systems that rely on the interpretation and generation of written language.

In the context of computing, text-based interfaces (TBIs) were among the earliest forms of human-computer interaction. Users would input commands as text, and the system would respond with text-based output. While graphical user interfaces (GUIs) have become dominant, text-based systems remain relevant for their efficiency, scriptability, and ability to run on resource-constrained devices. Examples include terminal emulators, scripting languages, and certain types of web services.

Beyond computing, the term "tekstipõhistes" can also describe methodologies or approaches that focus on textual analysis, such as in linguistics, literature, or qualitative research. Analyzing textual data allows for the identification of patterns, themes, and meanings within written content. In essence, anything that relies on the processing, understanding, or creation of written words can be considered tekstipõhistes.
