title: Inputlog Copy Task Corpus: Exploring and defining typing skills

description: <strong>Context</strong> One of the components that is included in the keystroke logging program Inputlog (https://www.inputlog.net) is the Copy Task component. It consists of a multi-layered set of tasks that measure a person's typing skill: Tapping task press the ‘d’ and ‘k’ key alternatively during 15 s Sentence copy a sentence during 30 s Word combination 1 copy a combination of three words seven times Word combination 2 copy a combination of three words seven times Word combination 3 copy a combination of three words seven times Word combination 4 copy a combination of three words seven times Consonant groups copy four blocks of six consonants once The task is currently made available in twelve languages. For more information: https://doi.org/10.5334/jors.234 <strong>Interactive Dashboard</strong><br> Visit the webpage with an interactive dashboard to explore, filter, and download the +5K copy task corpus. <em><strong>website</strong></em>: https://www.inputlog.net/copy-task/<br> <em><strong>dashboard</strong></em>: https://inputlog-analysis.uantwerpen.be/expert <strong>Corpus</strong> We are happy to make a multilingual corpus available (open access) that currently consists of more than 5000 copy tasks. The + 5K corpus is carefully cleaned and fully anonymized. The Shiny interface allows users to filter the corpus based on about 10 variables. The selection can be downloaded in different formats and levels of aggregation (from raw idfx to synthesized analysis). The selection can be explored using different interactive graph visualizations. Researchers can upload their own corpus (or single copy task file) and compare it to the (selected) corpus. An extra webpage is designed for laypersons wanting to take a copy task to test their typing skills. They get dashboard feedback in a user-friendly and attractive way and can compare their performance with (age-related) participants in the corpus. (Specially designed to further expand the corpus). <strong>Facts and Figures</strong><br> Some facts and figures about the corpus' composition: Languages: Dutch 3130 files English 1163 files German 281 files French 201 files Other 378 file <strong>Gender</strong> Female: 3495 files Male: 1276 files X or missing 382 files <strong>Age</strong> 15- 439 files 16-20 1591 files 21-25 2427 files 26-35 478 files 36-45 126 files 46+ 230 files A subset of the total corpus has been uploaded here.
