 <p>
-  nopaque is a web-based digital working environment. It implements a
-  workflow based on the research process in the humanities and supports its
-  users in processing their data in order to subsequently apply digital
-  analysis methods to them. All processes are implemented in a specially
-  provided cloud environment with established open source software. This
-  always ensures that no personal data of the users is disclosed.
+  Nopaque is a web application that offers different services and tools to support 
+  researchers working with image and text-based data. These services are logically 
+  connected and build upon each other. They include:
 </p>
+ <ol style="list-style-type:disc; margin-left:2em; padding-bottom:0;">
+  <li><b>File setup</b>, which converts and merges different data  (e.g., books, letters) 
+  for further processing.</li>
+  <li><b>Image-to-text conversion tools:</b></li>
+    <ol style="list-style-type:circle; margin-left:1em; padding-bottom:0;"><li><b>Optical Character Recognition</b> converts photos and 
+    scans into text data, making them machine-readable.</li>
+    <li><b>Transkribus HTR (Handwritten Text Recognition) Pipeline</b> 
+    also converts images into text data, making them machine-readable.</li>
+    </ol>
+  <li><b>Natural Language Processing</b> extracts information from your text via 
+  computational linguistic data processing (tokenization, lemmatization, part-of-speech 
+  tagging and named-entity recognition.</li>
+  <li><b>Corpus analysis</b> makes use of CQP Query Language to search through text 
+  corpora with the aid of metadata and Natural Language Processing tags.</li>
+ </ol>
+
+Nopaque also features a <b>Social Area</b>, where researchers can create a personal profile, connect with other users and share corpora if desired.
+These services can be accessed from the sidebar in nopaque.
+All processes are implemented in a specially provided cloud environment with established open-source software. This always ensures that no personal data of the users is disclosed.

+<h5 id="registration-and-login">Registration and login</h5>
+<p>Before you can begin using nopaque, you will need to create a personal user account. 
+Open the menu (three dots) at the top right of the screen and choose “Register.” Enter 
+the required details listed on the registration page (username, password, email address). 
+After verifying your account via the link sent to your email, you can log in.</p>
+<h5 id="preparing-files">Preparing files for analysis</h5>
+<p>A few steps need to be taken before images, scans, or other text data are ready for 
+analysis in nopaque. The SpaCy NLP Pipeline service can only extract linguistic data 
+from texts in plain text (.txt) format. If your text is already in this format, you 
+can skip the next steps and go directly to <b>Extracting linguistic data from text</b>. 
+Otherwise, the next steps assume that you are starting off with image data.</p>
+<p>
+First, all data needs to be converted into PDF format. Using the <b>File Setup</b> service, 
+you can bundle images together – even of different formats – and convert them all into 
+one PDF file. Note that the File Setup service will sort the images based on their file 
+name in ascending order. It is thus recommended to name them accordingly, for example: 
+page-01.png, page-02.jpg, page-03.tiff.
+</p>
+<p>
+After uploading the images and completing the File Setup job, the list of files added 
+can be seen under “Inputs.” Further below, under “Results,” you can find and download 
+the PDF output.</p>
+<h5 id="converting-a-pdf-into-text">Converting a PDF into text data</h5>
+<p>Select an image-to-text conversion tool depending on whether your PDF is primarily 
+composed of handwritten text or printed text. For printed text, select the <b>Tesseract OCR 
+Pipeline</b>. For handwritten text, select the <b>Transkribus HTR Pipeline</b>. Select the desired 
+language model or upload your own. Select the version of Tesseract OCR you want to use 
+and click on submit to start the conversion. When the job is finished, various output 
+files can be seen and downloaded further below, under “Results.” You may want to review 
+the text output for errors and coherence.</p>
+<h5 id="extracting-linguistic-data">Extracting linguistic data from text</h5>
+<p>The <b>SpaCy NLP Pipeline</b> service extracts linguistic information from plain text files 
+(in .txt format). Select the corresponding .txt file, the language model, and the 
+version you want to use. When the job is finished, find and download the files in 
+<b>.json</b> and <b>.vrt</b> format under “Results.”</p>
+<h5 id="creating-a-corpus">Creating a corpus</h5>
+<p>Now, using the files in .vrt format, you can create a corpus. This can be done 
+in the Dashboard or Corpus Analysis under “My Corpora.” Click on “Create corpus” 
+and add a title and description for your corpus. After submitting, navigate down to 
+the “Corpus files” section. Once you have added the desired .vrt files, select “Build” 
+on the corpus page under “Actions.” Now, your corpus is ready for analysis.</p>
+<h5 id="analyzing-a-corpus">Analyzing a corpus</h5>
+<p>Navigate to the corpus you would like to analyze and click on the Analyze button. 
+This will take you to an analysis overview page for your corpus. Here, you can find a 
+visualization of general linguistic information of your corpus, including tokens, 
+sentences, unique words, unique lemmas, unique parts of speech and unique simple parts 
+of speech. You will also find a pie chart of the proportional textual makeup of your 
+corpus and can view the linguistic information for each individual text file. A more 
+detailed visualization of token frequencies with a search option is also on this page.</p>
+<p>From the corpus analysis overview page, you can navigate to other analysis modules: 
+the <b>Query Builder</b> (under <b>Concordance</b>) and the <b>Reader</b>. With the Reader, you can read 
+your corpus texts tokenized with the associated linguistic information. The tokens can 
+be shown as lemmas, parts of speech, words, and can be displayed in different ways: 
+visually as plain text with the option of highlighted entities or as chips.</p>
+<p>The <b>Concordance</b> module allows for more specific, query-oriented text analyses. 
+Here, you can filter out text parameters and structural attributes in different 
+combinations. This is explained in more detail in the Query Builder section of the 
+manual.</p>
