The analyzer was developed and tested on natural language data extracted from Wolof text books.
These include Cissé, M. (1994). Contes wolof modernes. L’harmattan;
and Ba, M. (2007). Bataaxal bu gudde nii. Nouvelles Editions Africaines du Sénégal (NEAS).
As of September 2014, the tool shows a high coverage (more than 90%) on unseen data.
