Analysing texts in digital archives

Digital Humanities researchers at King's College London wanted a software to improve their textual analysis of archive-based data.

They had limited success with a product called TextGrid, which had been designed for use in Germany. SSI tested and retested the TextVRE software until a usable, accessible product was created that could be used by researchers anywhere in the UK.
