Welcome to text.tools!

This website hosts independently functioning text processing tools that have been created as part of the Chinese Text Project digital library. Currently these include:

• Text Tools - a browser-based text mining and interactive visualization toolkit.

  

  Tutorials: Text Tools for ctext.org tutorial

• ctext.org annotation client - a browser-based annotation toolkit for annotating named entities in premodern Chinese texts. While the primary goal of this tool is provide an easy to use method to create and edit semantic annotations and historical data (also published as Linked Open Data) in the Chinese Text Project digital library, the tool can also be used to annotate user-supplied texts, which are not uploaded to the Chinese Text Project and can instead be saved locally in XML.
