+# Concrete Label
+
+## A tool for annotating concrete and visual poetry (as well as picture, images, etc)
+
+Working with NLTK for the analysis of text we noticed that the natural language toolkit is lacking something when it comes to the very materiality of the text: it ignores the layout, the shapes, the spaces as well all the other graphical information that a script may contains.
+
+Hence this is a little tool to annotate visual contents in order to be then processed by tools as NLTK
