Legacy Tools

These are tools that used to be activly developed, but now are on maintenance mode and are only receiving bug-fixes but no new features. They can be used as usual, but you should check if an activly maintained tool is available for the same task.

  • Pepper: A highly extensible plattform for conversion and manipulation of linguistic data between an unbound set of formats. Pepper can be used stand-alone as a command line interface, or be integrated as an API into other software products. 1
  • Hexatomic: A cross-platform multi-layer corpus annotation tool – and extensible platform – for the desktop.
  • Salt: A powerful, tagset-independent and theory-neutral meta model and API for storing, manipulating, and representing nearly all types of linguistic data.

An archived version of the old corpus-tools.org website is available at here, in case you need access to old documentation, e.g. for ANNIS version 3.
