| Content | Ever wonder how web-based tools and text-based analysis intersect? Come find out how to analyze literature (and text more broadly understood) using a variety of online tools that have minimal learning curves. I will introduce you to a manageable number of such tools--Voyant, Mandala browser, ManyEyes, and others--and then we will experiment with them as a group and independently. This demonstration and workshop will be useful for pedagogical and scholarly purposes.
I encourage you to bring a sample text or corpora you want to work with during the session; it should be in either .TXT format, a .ZIP collection of texts, .XML, or, in some cases, a URL that points to a text you want to work with. I will also bring a selection of texts for us to draw on. Online materials will be located at http://cerosia.org--search for keyword “innovations.” This session derives from material covered in the 2012 University of Victoria Digital Humanities Summer Institute.

Bamboo DiRT is a tool, service, and collection registry of digital research tools for scholarly use. Developed by Project Bamboo, Bamboo DiRT is an evolution of Lisa Spiro's DiRT wiki and makes it easy for digital humanists and others conducting digital research to find and compare resources ranging from content management systems to music OCR, statistical analysis packages to mindmapping software.TAPoR (Text Analysis Portal) [TAPoR2 Test Environment--try this link if the first doesn't work] TAPoR is a gateway to the tools used in sophisticated text analysis and retrieval. Browse tools by type or tag, search and use tools, read and create tool reviews, contribute and advertise your own tools.
Voyant Tools
Voyant is a web-based text analysis environment. It is designed to be user-friendly, flexible and powerful. Voyant is part of the Hermeneuti.ca, a collaborative project to develop and theorize text analysis tools and text analysis rhetoric. This section of the Hermeneuti.ca web site provides information and documentation for users and developers of Voyeur. Note: The original name of the environment was "Voyeur," which was recently changed given the connotations of "voyeur." You might see these names used interchangeably. You can also get to Voyant Tools via TAPoR.IBM ManyEyes View, discuss, and create data sets and visualizations of data sets using a variety of filters including pie charts, scatterplots, bubble charts, treemaps, word clouds, phrase nets, and more.Google n-Gram viewer Read more about the Google n-Gram viewer here.
