Words That Describe Soldiers - I thought I might add a little more information to my posts about new books, articles or chapters. Mostly because I can. More so because it has to provide basic information about the job. Let's start with our old friend word cloud:

The upper cloud is integrated. www.wordle.net and allow customization [For statistics www.tagcrowd.com Show the number of words next to each word. although there is a text length limit]

Unfortunately, wordle doesn't do what Google Books does: it provides a list of unique words. That's why Wordle has a large database of documents, and of course Google Books doesn't have magazine content.

If you want to play more with text, the free website Voyant (formerly known as Voyeur) has all kinds of bells and whistles for you. Although sometimes it can seem a little awkward. especially when you try It is used in the classroom 😦

As you can see, Voyant gives you a lot of additional information: groups of words (with very limited customization), word counts, original text with the selected word highlighted ("unique" here), occurrences of each word everywhere. Whole Task (Word Trends), KWIC (Keywords in Context) view of selected words, etc. You can also load multiple texts and make comparisons between different documents.

Devonthink Pro Office* One of my recent software purchases. (Spoiler alert!) There are some features that are the same. but allows you to compare any document with other documents all of you (Theoretical limits of 300 million words and 200 words, I would say 000 documents per database, but you can have multiple databases) Almost all secondary, including 14 million words (265,000 single words) and 7,680 documents.

First, the word count of the article. (This only counts words with three or more characters. So some statistics differ from previous Voyant):

Soldiers Of Glorious America

Below is a list of words that this article uses more often than any other document in my DTPO database that uses it (mostly about the War of the Spanish Succession so far), if that makes sense:

I've been playing around with how things are organized in DTPOs until now. I focus on secondary sources because: 1) It helps me more with my urgent projects and 2) Obviously, How to use DTPO for secondary data sources ? Although I have yet to consider whether a DTPO will be able to replace my Access database.

There are many other applications for analyzing text sources, but I'll stop with these three applications for now. Of course, this is only the tip of the digital humanities iceberg.

* Yes, I finally gave in and joined the Apple fanboy, mainly because of two programs: Scrivener and Devonthink Pro Office. I love my MacBook Air BTW (it's my iPad with my favorite keyboard). Print on my old desktop computer - keep both. I will post more about my usage in the future.
