What
Scansion-generator is a command-line tool that generates a scansion for modern Dutch metric poetry. Watch the video about what we did:
How
Scansion-generator was developed in
Python by Michel Koppelaar of the
Research department of the
KB in collaboration with
Marc van Oostendorp. It has dependencies on the
Celex database. This web demo assumes that the submitted poem has the iambic pentameter - the
command line version allows overriding this assumption with another meter. Documentation (also in
Dutch) is available
here.
