Text Analysis Portal for Research

TAPoR (Text Analysis Portal for Research) is a gateway that highlights tools and code snippets usable for textual criticism of all types.

The project is housed at the University of Alberta, and is currently led by Geoffrey Rockwell, Stéfan Sinclair, Kirsten C. Uszkalo, and Milena Radzikowska.

[1] Tool pages on TAPoR consist of a short description, authorial information, a screenshot of the tool, tags, suggested related tools, and user ratings and comments.

TAPoR developed, a network of nodes at universities across Canada which would have servers and local labs where the best text tools, be they from industry or other sources, could be aggregated and made available.

These would be supplemented by representative texts and special infrastructure ...[2] This earlier version allowed researchers to experiment with text analysis tools by either using them without an account through the "TAPoR Tools" interface, or getting an account where they could define texts they wanted to operate on and create a list of favorite tools.
