DESCRIPTION:

This tool has been developed by TRACE at the University of León. It is able to tag and align pairs of a) narrative, b) film/theatre and c) poetry/song texts in any language and to analyse and export the results.

TAGGING:

a) Narrative: it tags and numbers paragraphs, sentences, headings and character interventions (dialogue).

b) Film/theatre: it tags replicas, internal and non-internal annotations, dialogue, titles (reels and scenes) and tags and numbers character names.

c) Poetry/songs: it tags verses and stanzas. This part is not included in the instruction manual because it was developed by Sergio Lobejón Santos for his doctoral thesis, after the manual was written and with the help of technician Roberto Pérez González.

ALIGNMENT:

To correct possible errors, the programme combines two units into one, inserts blank units (insert blank), divides a unit into two, saves in TMX format and generates a table in HTML format with the result of the alignment.

It aligns 2 texts at the same time.

METADATA:

The programme also saves the following metadata: author, title, translator, publisher/Exp.AGA, collection, date.
