TextCritical.net

h1. TextCritical.com

Providing advanced tools for the analysis of ancient text Greek texts by providing:

 * Reader friendly interface (books are an art form and should be presented accordingly)

 * Morphologically tagged works (using automated tools and crowd-sourcing)

 * Search engine designed for detailed study (like finding all of the instances of και after a noun with the definite article but before one that doesn't have it)

The intention of TextCritical.com is to provide an updated interface but achieving many of the "goals of Perseus":http://dl.tufts.edu/ProxyServlet/?url=http://repository01.lib.tufts.edu:8080/fedora/get/tufts:PB.001.001.00005/bdef:TuftsPDF/getPDF&filename=tufts:PB.001.001.00005.pdf.

h2. Roadmap

* *0.1*: Basic site with ~400 Greek works

* *0.2*: Word parsing so that users can look up the meaning and definition of Greek words

* *0.3*: Bug fixes and enhancements

* *0.4*: Basic search

* *0.5*: Enhanced search (ability to search related forms, search help page, ability to search by beta-code, searching the no_diacritics field removes diacritics from the search term)

* *0.6*: Addition of the LXX, other enhancements

* *0.7*: Side-by-side reading pages allowing readers to view both the original Greek and a English translation

Long-term plans including offering features such as:

* *eBook creation:* ability to create eBooks of selected works. May provide the ability to make "reader's editions" that include the definitions and/or parsing of Greek words inline (e.g. "make me an ebook of Josephi Vita with definitions for all words that occur 10 times or less").

* *Word use research:* ability to do an analysis of a word to determine if the word or phrase is commonly used by the author or other authors, etc.

* *Vocabulary tool:* that allows readers to view the most common words in a given text so that you can build up your vocabulary

* *Crowd-sourced parsing:* so that readers of the site can select sections of text and agree to provide parsing data beyond that which automated analysis can do (like associating pronouns to the subject/object).
