Filter by the type of analysis.
Visualization
DocuScope is a text analysis environment first developed in 1998. It contains a suite of interactive visualization tools for corpus-based rhetorical analysis. At present, DocuScope is not available outside the originating research group. However, the Working Group for Digital Inquiry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is currently working on a working environment that includes much of DocuScope's functions.
Annotating
The Domeo Annotation Toolkit was an extensible web application for creating and sharing ontology-based stand-off annotations on HTML or XML documents. Users could add annotations manually, or via the tool's full or partial automation options. It also included functions for controlling access authorization and control for both personal and community annotations.
Search
Doodle is an online scheduling tool to help collaborators find a common time to meet. An organizer can set up a number of proposed meeting times and send a survey to participants who indicate availability. The free version offers scheduling and the option for a MeetMe page, which allows users to see your available time slots; paid versions include options such as calendar integration, automatic reminders, SSL encryption, and seeing who is missing. Private plans are $39 a year and business/group plans vary in price, which is dependent on the number of Doodle organizers. Ideal for team work planning and easy to use.
Gathering
DownThemAll is a Firefox plugin that allows users to download all the links or images contained in a webpage.
Capture
Dragon Dictation is a voice recognition application that allows you to speak and instantly see your text content from email messages to blog posts on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch.
Collaboration
Dropbox is a file hosting service that includes cloud storage, personal cloud, file synchronization, and client software across multiple platforms. Dropbox allows users to create a folder on each of their computers where any type of file can be saved, synchronized, and made available across all computers. Contents of the Dropbox folder are also accessible via dropbox.com and mobile applications. Individual files and folders can be shared with other Dropbox users or made publicly accessible. Dropbox for Business is a paid service targeting organizations by providing administrative controls and auditing functionality while allowing users to create a work account that is completely separate from their personal account but the two are viewable side by side.
