GRIPHOS (General Retrieval and Information Processor for Humanities Oriented Studies)

GRIPHOS (General Retrieval and Information Processor for Humanities Oriented Studies) is a historically important suite of programs used extensively within the Museum Computer Network, a shared information management system developed jointly by fifteen New York area museums. Designed by Dr. Jack Heller of New York University's Institute for Computer Research in the Humanities (ICRH) and debuting in 1967, GRIPHOS enabled museums to store, retrieve and apply textual markup to their records.

English Metrics

English Metrics is a free tutorial on English metrics, first written in Hypercard and maintained in a StackRunner version for both OS X and Windows environments. It traces the process of scanning iambic pentameter, and includes reference and exercise material for a range of metrical patterns.

The Scandroid 1.1

The Scandroid is a free program released under the GNU Public License for OS X and Windows environments designed to scan English verse in iambic and anapestic meters, either from a text file or entered by hand. The program explains its process as it scans the text, such as identifying syllables or lexical stresses, or dividing lines into feet, so users can learn about its analysis in addition from its output.

JEUDEMO

JEUDEMO was an information retrieval program developed at the University of Montreal in the 1970s. It built on and extended the functionality of COCOA by including Boolean search functions to search for patterns within a text such as co-occurences, but saw limited adoption as it required texts to be supplied on punched cards or paper tape and was programmed in a language exclusive to the CDC Cyber 74 computer system.

Mann–Whitney U test
This test maps the occurrence of a term as it appears in corpora. Ranking them by how often they appear in each text.
TF-IDF
This tool calculates Term Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) for a collection of documents showing the salient words. It also does relative frequency.
Plotting Characteristic Curve of Word Lengths
Code that reads a .txt files and plot the characteristic curve of words lengths of the text. Finally it graphs it using matplotlib
Plotting Distribution
Reading a .txt file and storing it. Afterward finding the word count and word distribution and graphing it with matplotlib.
Plotting Word Frequency
Reads a .txt file and plot the word frequency using matplotlib.
SoundScriber

A software application for the playback of audio recordings. SoundScriber offers specific functionality for researchers that wish to transcribe a recording. It was originally developed for use in the Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English (MICASE) project and released for use by academics performing similar work.

Features:

Audio playback via installed audio codecs (e.g. Wav, MP3)

Variable speed playback

'Walking' support – playback of a small stretch of an audio stream several times to ensure accurate transcription is made, followed by an advancement to a new section of audio.
