Research tools

Språkbanken is working actively to develop a language technology infrastructure. Currently, this mainly means harmonizing and standardizing as many free language resources as possible. In addition to resources, we also develop digital tools for exploring them and making them available to research and to the general public.

Development

Based on the conviction that openness should permeate all research and support review and collaboration, we strive to use open standards and create software that is free and open-source. Most of our software is available on GitHub.
