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.

Access the Inputlog <Inputlog copy task dashboard>.

The copy task is now also available in Swedish. You can complete the copy task in twelve languages now.

A heartfelt thank you to Åsa Wengelin and Lisa Bengtsson (University of Gothenburgh, Sweden). They were so kind to design the Swedish copy task.

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.

A heartfelt thank you to Teresa Limpo (University of Porto). She was so kind to design the Portuguese copy task.

In view of the release of Inputlog 8 and of the SIG Writing Conference later this month, we figured the website could do with a makeover.

The new website does not only have a new look that is also fit for mobile devices, it also contains some new content. Have fun exploring! If you discover any hiccups, please let us know.
