The Babel application is the most powerful tool for working with the Czech Verse Corpus (CRC). Compared to other tools, it requires at least elementary knowledge of the SQL query language, but it allows the user to work (almost) without limitations with all levels of the CRC.

The application sends the query entered by the user to sqlite database. The queries addressed to the database are posed asynchronously. The application thus does not wait for response from the server, and can be used while the query is being processed. When more challenging queries are being processed, it is thus not necessary to wait for response from the server – the outcome can be viewed even after logging off from the application.
