Welcome to Hypal

Hypal is a web-based user-friendly text processor for corpora The key functionality includes:

• Automatic and semi-automatic alignment of texts for translation corpora
• Error annotation of texts for monolingual learner corpora
• Error annotation of target texts in translation corpora

Hypal is focused primarily on learner corpora. As such, it is shipped together with a user-frieindly student interface (available at https://student.hypal.eu) that allows you to painlessly integrate the text collection from language learners into language courses. In the student interface, students submit assigments which are then revised and annotated by teachers and returned to the student. Once the annotation is complete, the assigment can be automatically added to the corpus. Hypal is open in the sense that you can always download your data (including the annotation and alignment information) in a format that can be further processed using other corpus tools, such as the SketchEngine.
