Lexeri term checks in Visual Studio

Features of the Visual Studio extension

Term check in the editor

Lexeri checks the active document, even unsaved, and lists the terms found. The eye icon highlights the occurrence in the editor and scrolls to it.

Suggested improvements

For forbidden terms, Lexeri suggests a corrected sentence. “Accept suggestion” replaces it directly in the document, and Ctrl+Z undoes this in a single step. This feature requires the AI package.

Term search and term extraction

Search your termbases without leaving Visual Studio and find candidates for new terms in the active document.

Requirements

Visual Studio 2022 or 2026 (Community, Professional or Enterprise) on Windows
Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime – included in current versions of Windows; if it is missing, the Lexeri window links the download
A Lexeri account with access to at least one termbase

The extension checks the text of the active editor. It therefore works with any text-based file, e.g. RESX, JSON, XAML, XML, HTML or source code containing UI texts.

Improved term checks with NLP

Lexeri uses NLP language models to improve the quality of our term checks and can therefore automatically detect inflected forms, incorrect spellings or compounds.

Your benefits:

Improved term hits, even for inflected forms
No manual updating of alternative spellings, e.g. for compound terms

Lexeri integrations

Automatic term checks in external systems

In addition to the plug-ins with which you and your colleagues can check terminology directly while writing, Lexeri also provides solutions for term checks in external systems. These systems can include code repositories for software development, content management systems or PIM systems.

The integrations sync texts from these systems and run automatic term checks. The term hits are shown in Lexeri, and you can send corrections back to the connected system directly in Lexeri.
