Abstract

E-Dictor is a tool for encoding, applying levels of editions, and assigning part-of-speech tags to ancient texts. In short, it works as a WYSIWYG interface to encode text in XML format. It comes from the experience during the building of the Tycho Brahe Parsed Corpus of Historical Portuguese and from consortium activities with other research groups. Preliminary results show a decrease of at least 50% on the overall time taken on the editing process.
