Voyant
In this part, we will learn about:
- basic information about Voyant (essential background about the tool and its design)
- how to create (or use) a Voyant corpus (especially with URLs and file uploads)
- how to begin exploring a corpus in Voyant (the default tools and their interactions)
- digging deeper into Voyant functionality (power searches, working with grids, additional tools)
Uploading a text document to Voyant
- Let’s use a text from Project Gutenberg.
- Moby Dick - https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2701/
-
Copy and paste the URL of Moby Dick .txt file of Moby Dick
-
Now add Jane Eyre
- Once you create a corpus you will arrive at the default “skin” or arrangement of tools. There is a lot happening at once, but we’ll start by describing the tools that you see and how they can interact.
