'''Oracle Text''' is [[search engine]] and text analysis software developed and sold by [[Oracle Corporation]]. It is [[proprietary software]], sold as part of [[Oracle Database]], a proprietary [[relational database management system]].

When integrated with a text storage system, it can analyze text and provide text-filtering and text-reduction for [[speed reading|speed-reading]] and summary-viewing. It can return [[grammar|grammatical]] assessments of the text it processes, checking for [[grammatical error]]s and rating the quality and [[Stylistics (linguistics)|style]] of the writing.

==History==
Oracle Corporation introduced '''Oracle ConText''' first as a [[software]] option, then as an [[Oracle data cartridge]] (a server-based software module) for text retrieval when it released version 8 of the [[Oracle database]] in 1997. It used the default schema CTXSYS and the default tablespace DRSYS.

With the appearance of version 8i of the Oracle database in 1999, a re-designed ConText became '''Oracle interMedia Text''' — part of the separately-priced [[Oracle interMedia]] bundle of products.

With the release of version 9i of the database in 2001 Oracle Corporation renamed the software as Oracle Text and again marketed it as a standalone subsystem, integrated with and included in the cost of the database software.

Oracle Corporation continues to support Oracle Text as of Oracle Database release 12<ref>
