User corpora
Sketch Engine can be used to build a text corpus, have it POS-tagged and lemmatized and download the corpus in plain text or vertical file formats. Only user corpora can be downloaded from Sketch Engine.

File formats for corpus download
- a plain text file – this is the plain text version without pos tags or lemmas but including all structures and structural attributes
- vertical file – this is the corpus in vertical format with both pos tags, lemmas and structures and attribute. This format is best for preserving as much information as possible.
- TMX – this format is only availble with parallel copora
