Abstract
The tools that were developed through the ACCURAT project and are presented in this book are packed into the ACCURAT toolkit (Pinnis et al. 2012a)—a collection of tools that are capable of collecting comparable corpora, analysing and extracting parallel data. The ACCURAT toolkit produces

Whilst they may not be directly applicable, it is straightforward to adopt and apply our methods for building comparable corpora from the web to digital archives or other off-line textual data collections that are very large.

The first version of Sisyphus was created by the Belgian METAL team in 1987, in pre-Windows times, to speed up system development. This kind of tool is still needed.
