One of the most useful outcomes of a course like this would be the discovery of new digital tools that can help humanists, artists, social scientists and others (who are not necessarily programmers) create interesting projects. Please use this page to suggest tools for possible inclusion on the English Department's \"Toy Chest\" page.

General criteria: Tools should be:

• Free or relatively cheap. (Expensive tools may be suggested if they come with a free trial period).
• Can be used online or can be downloaded for use on a personal computer. (Please notify if the tool is specific to the Windows or Mac operating systems.)

Format for description of tools:

• Name of tool. Web site URL. Description (any brief description will do, though it would be most helpful if the description were approximately like those for existing entries in the Toy Chest. Please be sure to place any quotations or excerpts from the tool Web site in quote marks.). Optional: include a screenshot.

• rid.py (A text analysis tool that can be downloaded and used on a command line) - An implementation of the Regressive Image Dictionary, "a coding scheme for text analysis that is designed to measure 'primordial' and conceptual content". It takes a body of text and generates a list of the feelings and metaphors present in the text based on keyword counts.
