Written language carries context that machines cannot understand from numbers alone. Dabbies collects authentic text from real people, places and situations.

IN CONTEXT
REAL / HUMAN / LOCAL
02 / THE COLLECTION
Text is more than a collection of words.
The way people write changes with location, culture, situation, age, purpose and audience. A message between friends does not sound like a customer complaint. A street sign does not sound like a school assignment. Context gives language its meaning.
03 / WHAT WE COLLECT

04 / WHY TEXT MATTERS
LANGUAGE
HAS A PLACE.
A sentence can look simple while carrying an entire situation behind it. Text data helps technology understand how people actually communicate rather than how language appears in a textbook.
Dabbies focuses on collecting language with enough context to remain useful while respecting the people who create it.
