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.
