Spellcheck for Bias
Our innovative script analysis system to infuse diversity and inclusion in entertainment and media where every story must begin… on the page.
Spellcheck for Bias, a collaboration between the Institute and the University of Southern California’s Signal Analysis and Interpretation Laboratory (SAIL), analyzes film and television scripts, manuscripts, and advertising briefs to create a breakdown of characters and dialogue. Beyond our software-based script analysis process, Spellcheck for Bias also incorporates the Institute’s Human Expert Coding to determine the representation of six identities: gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQIA+, disability, age 50+, and body type. In addition, Spellcheck for Bias provides an analysis of Tropes and Stereotypes and such attributes as racial injustice violence, discrimination and intelligence.
What if a film’s potential for onscreen diversity, equity, and inclusion could be identified where every film or television show begins: the script! To learn more about how Spellcheck for Bias can help support your work onscreen, please contact gdigm@seejane.org
