CodeBook Studio
CodeBook Studio is a browser-based text annotation tool for computational social science. Researchers define an annotation task once — with sections, instructions, examples, and response formats — annotate texts in the browser, and export the codebook and labelled data for downstream use, including systematic LLM benchmarking in CodeBook Lab.
- Binary, categorical, Likert-scale, and open-ended text annotation types
- Codebook editor with integrated instructions, examples, and live annotation preview
- Consistent annotation interface for teams of coders
- Codebook export in JSON, LaTeX, and Markdown for papers and appendices
- LLM prompt preview for checking how the task will be presented to models
- CSV input and output for interoperability
For a step-by-step walkthrough covering both tools, see the CodeBook Studio & Lab Tutorial.
The app is available at codebook.streamlit.app. Feel free to reach out if you encounter any bugs or need additional features for your annotation workflow.
