What is Korrida?

Korrida is a tool that allows to most easily correct and comment text on web pages.

You are a professional proofreader and have been assigned the task to check web pages? Or you simply came across mistakes on a website and would like to point them out to its author?

Unless you have access to that website (its sources or content management system) you have a number of options:

• You download the page, edit the page (at the HTML level) and finally transfer the corrected version,
• you don't work on the text directly, but just quote and correct the relevant parts of the text, combined with information about their location on the page,
• you paste the text into a word processor and correct the text in change log mode,
• you make screenshots of the page and add your correction hints with the help of graphics software, or
• you make a hard copy and work on the text in the customary manner.

All fairly laborious and time-consuming - and hence expensive, such that corrections are often not made at all.

Comes Korrida to the rescue:

With Korrida, a mistake is corrected as quickly as you can select a piece of text with the mouse and insert and delete letters. And the addressee just has to load a web page in order to see corrections and comments clearly highlighted in the original context.

Korrida

• reduces the administrative part of correction work to a minimum,
• accelerates and facilitates processing considerably,
• consequently saves time, energy, and costs, thus lowering the entry threshold.
• On top of it, learning to handle Korrida is a matter of but a few minutes!

... what is it not?

Korrida

• is not an automaton, but a tool for humans,
• does not encroach on the source page - it offers a view of a corrected and/or commented version of the text (allowing to adopt it as a whole).

At a glance

Let's say you came across mistakes on a page. You start Korrida and load that page into the integrated web browser:

In the text it says "restrained" instead of "restraint". You select that word with the mouse, which automatically copies it into the text fields labelled "Original" and "Correction", resp.:

In the "Correction" field you correct the word and then click on the button "Save as new". The correction appears in the list labelled as "Corrections" and your change is highlighted on the page:

The text contains two more mistakes that you also correct, whereby in the second case you insert a comment in addition. Both in the list of corrections and in the page, the comment is represented by the word "Note" - if you move the mouse pointer over it in the page, your comment appears.

The edited page is always and immediately ready to be shown in an external browser. The address for this purpose can be found in the field labelled "Result" in the "Page attributes" in the left half of the window.

If you load the page in a browser, you see it with your corrections and comments clearly marked. A movable dialog window hovers over the page and lists the corrections. If you touch a correction in this list with the mouse, the very changes draw attention to themselves by an animation. If you click on the correction, the browser scrolls the respective piece of text into the visible area.

On additional tabs, info about the page and the corrector is shown.

Features and system requirements

• a desktop application with a graphical user interface
• is, for the time being, available for Windows only (in its 64 bit incarnation) (versions for Mac and Linux are under consideration)
• has a multilingual user interface (for now, German and English are offered, other languages might be added, like French, Spanish, Dutch, Russian ...)
• is implemented in Java and therefore needs a Java runtime environment (version 11 or higher; when missing, it is provided during installation)
• requires no local storage
• can immediately be used as a free test version

Installation

At present, Korrida is available for 64-bit Windows only.

Execution of the program requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) having version 11 or higher.

If you have an appropriate JRE on your computer, choose this installation program: korrida-1.0.1-windows-x64.exe to only install Korrida.

If you need to install the JRE also, there are two options:

Comfortable, safe, and therefore recommended is to choose installation program korrida-1.0.1-windows-x64_with_jre.exe, which not only provides you with Korrida, but also with a suitable JRE. (The JRE is placed in a subdirectory of Korrida's installation folder; if you deinstall Korrida, this private JRE gets automatically also removed.)

If you want to install the Java runtime environment yourself, from this address https://jdk.java.net/17/ you can download a JDK as a zip-archive. This you unpack into a directory on your computer. Then you assign the absolute path to this directory to the environment variable "JAVA_HOME" and add the subdirectory "bin" to the environment variable "PATH".
In addition download korrida-1.0.1-windows-x64.exe and execute it.

After the installation, you find Korrida in the Windows start menu.

License

Korrida is currently in the test phase, licenses cannot be purchased yet.

If you have installed Korrida and registered, Korrida works in trial version mode. The trial version is technically identical to the licensed version and only slightly restricted in that the number of corrections allowed to make on a page is limited to three. Functionally you can examine Korrida with this version in every respect.

The later purchase of a license does not require a new installation: licensing is a purely server-side change. Also, any data you produce with the trial version will be retained.
