Pecha Tool Sync Editor is an advanced annotation and collaborative editing platform built for working with Tibetan texts in the PechaData format. This tool is built with a modern stack using React (frontend) and Express (backend), and powered by the Quill editor for rich text editing with real-time collaboration and syncing capabilities.
It allows multiple users to:
Upload and edit pecha text documents
Collaboratively annotate, comment, and suggest edits
Synchronize two related texts side-by-side (e.g., source and translation)
Track changes and sync annotations across versions using the STAM (Stand-off Text Annotation Model)
This is the second version of the existing Pecha toolkit, redesigned for better performance, usability, and collaborative workflows.
🔄 Two-panel text sync for parallel text editing (source & translation)
