Description and background
The Reader Toolbox -- run from the command-line as rdr -- is designed to create and interact with Distant Reader study carrels. Using the Toolbox you can do things such as but not limited to:
- search and browse the collection of more than 3,000 publicly available study carrels
- download study carrels from the public collection and add them to your own collection
- count & tabulate the most frequent ngrams (one-word, two-word, etc. phrases) occurring in study carrels
- apply concordancing (keyword-in-context searching) against study carrels
- apply topic modeling (extracting latent themes) against study carrels
- extract information from your study carrels matching specific grammars
- create your own study carrels
- and more
In the end, the Toolbox empowers you to read, use, and understand large volumes of text quickly and easily.
