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, tooltips, and response formats — annotate texts in the browser, adjudicate unresolved coder disagreements, and export the codebook and labelled data for downstream use, including systematic LLM benchmarking in CodeBook Lab.
- Checkbox, dropdown, Likert-scale, textbox, and span-style 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
- Adjudication mode for completing unresolved labels from CodeBook Lab queues
- Version comparison for checking changes between codebook drafts
- LLM prompt preview for checking how the task will be presented to models
- CSV input and output for interoperability
