Welcome Screen

Once you click "Login"', a new window opens. You will be able to login using your TextGrid account information (the user name and password you received via e-mail), or you may choose to login via DFN-AAI (= authentication and authorization infrastructure of the German National Research and Education Network). If you have forgotten your TextGrid account password, please use the button "Forgot Password?'' at the bottom of the screen.

 

Login Screen

After your first login, you will be asked to complete your user information and to accept the "TextGrid Terms of Use".

You can change your user information at any time via the "Help > Authentication'' in the menu bar of the Lab.
