German artist, Klaus Oehler (*1985), created a fascinating video with Inputlog, setting up a dialogue between the process and the product of writing (‘Prozedukt’). Klaus Oehler studied Indology, Iranian Studies, and Mathematics at the University of Tübingen. He has been working in different fields of art since graduation in 2014.

Preceding the SIGWriting 2022 conference in Umeå (Sweden), a two-day research school is organized. From: Friday 17th June till Sunday 19th June 2022. During this event we will take care of a training session on Inputlog, also introducing the latest updates.

You can now explore, filter, and download a 5K+ corpus of copy tasks (open access) and dynamically compare the data with your own collected data.

In June 2020 we were invited by our Chinese colleagues in Jinan to take care of an introductory webinar on Inputlog. We titled it “Using keystroke logging in your research … and in your classroom”.

It was presented at the 2nd Conference on Second Language Teaching and Research 2020, Shandong University (China)  | subtitled video

In Inputlog 8.0.05 we are happy to introduce the following improvements:

• Pause analysis: the algorithm to define P-bursts has been refined;
• Revision analysis: the identification of ‘normal production bursts’ has been improved;
• Fluency analysis: the time labeling of intervals has been corrected;
• Source analysis: the recoding log file can now also be imported to correct and optimize your recoding frame.
