We accomplish this by compiling a list of text forms as text is read by the computer.

dictionary information about the form stored at this location can be retrieved directly by occurrences of the form in text.

These two pieces of information for each dictionary form that is matched by a text form constitute the table of dictionary usage.

Each dictionary form is looked up in the text-form list by the same method used to look up a new text occurrence in the form list during text reading.

Hence, the description of each text occurrence can be retrieved by reading the list of text-ordered information-cell addresses and outputting the description indicated by the information cell for each occurrence.
