Inputlog is a logging tool that logs all input modes: keyboard, mouse & speech recognition. Researchers make frequent use of keystroke logging tools to describe online writing processes in detail. Computer-based data collection (and processing) is much faster and more accurate than manual data collection.
 
Researchers can exactly register and accurately reconstruct the writing processes of writers who compose texts at the computer. In particular, Inputlog allows researchers to:
to record (keyboard, mouse and speech) data of a writing session in Microsoft Word, I-pad and other Windows based programs.
During the writing process these basic data are stored for later processing. This continuous data storage does not interfere with the normal use of the computer.
to generate data files for statistical, text, pause and mode analyses. The generated files can be exported to statistical programs such as SPSS and SAS.
to integrate various types of data from other programs.
to play the recorded session at different speeds.
Inputlog provides data for research on:
cognitive writing processes
writing strategies
writing development
pausing behavior
L1 versus L2 writing
