The Distant Reader empowers you to use & understand large amounts of textual information both quickly & easily. Technically speaking, the Distant Reader is a system which locally harvests/caches content you specify. It then transforms the content into plain text, performs sets of natural language processing & text mining against the text, saves the results in a number of formats, reduces the whole to a cross-platform database file, queries the database thus summarizing the collection, zips the results of the entire process into a single file, and makes the file available to you for further investigation -"reading". Sample output of the Reader ("study carrels") I don't know about you, but now-a-days I can find plenty of scholarly & authoritative content. The Distant Reader is intended to address this question by making observations against a corpus and providing tools for interpreting the results.	./cache/distantreader-org-7009.html	./txt/distantreader-org-7009.txt
