About INCLUSIFY

Together with the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM)), we developed a software prototype to support the practical use of diversity-sensitive language in German.

Our goal is both to promote awareness for diversity and to make every-day use of diversity-sensitive language easier.

INCLUSIFY currently offers two modes of use:

1. A standalone webpage where users can paste their text, receive feedback and improvement suggestions, and apply these to their text in the browser.
2. An add-in for Microsoft Word, with which users can check their documents right in Word, receive feedback and improvement suggestions, and apply these to their document without leaving the app.

Using the INCLUSIFY Docker image

Make sure to have Docker installed and running.

Use the following command to download the INCLUSIFY Docker image and start a new container. Note that the image is quite large and may take some time to download.

docker run --rm -p 80:80 -ti --pull always ghcr.io/tech4germany/inclusify-app:latest

Once you see a message like "Done loading morphological dictionary.", you can open http://localhost in your web browser and use the INCLUSIFY web-app from there! 🥳

Note: This Docker image hosts the app without HTTPS. This is fine for local testing, but isn't appropriate for any kind of deployment where other people use the app. For actual production deployments, consider putting an HTTPS reverse proxy in front of the INCLUSIFY container.

Double notation still triggers a match

Feedback:

Wenn ich „Mitarbeiter“ ersetze durch „Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter“ klappt das super.
Aber nach dem Ersetzen wird das „Mitarbeiter“ in „Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter“ immer noch als Fehler/Verbesserung angezeigt.
