Corpus

We are happy to make a multilingual corpus available (open access) that currently consists of more than 5000 copy tasks. 

The + 5K corpus is carefully cleaned and fully anonymized.

The Shiny interface allows users to filter the corpus based on about 10 variables.

The selection can be downloaded in different formats and levels of aggregation (from raw idfx to synthesized analysis).

The selection can be explored using different interactive graph visualizations.

Researchers can upload their own corpus (or single copy task file) and compare it to the (selected) corpus.

An extra webpage is designed for laypersons wanting to take a copy task to test their typing skills. They get dashboard feedback in a user-friendly and attractive way and can compare their performance with (age-related) participants in the corpus. (Specially designed to further expand the corpus).
