For researchers who work with text
TAPoR catalogues concordancers, annotators, topic models, stylometry packages, and visualization environments. Every record notes the platform, the license, and what the tool is actually good for.
Filter by the type of analysis.
Analysis
Micro-EYEBALL is a microprocessor version of the English language parser developed in the 1970s. This historically important legacy tool could also provide statistical descriptions of many linguistic features of a text. This tool is no longer available, and does not have a web presence.
Analysis
Micro-OCP (Oxford Concordance Program) was a major and historically important textual analysis tool for microprocessor computers. It enabled users to generate concordances, word lists and indexes, in addition to facilitating text markup in COCOA or other markup languages. Micro-OCP was written in FORTRAN, ran primarily in a DOS environment and could be ported to other operating systems including UNIX.
Analysis
MicrOsiris is a statistical and data management package for Windows. This freeware has been derived from OSIRIS IV, a statistics and data management package developed at the University of Michigan. It can import up to 10,000 variables from SPSS, SAS, STATA, UNESCO IDAMS, and Excel. It is distributed as freeware.
Analysis
minezy is a prototype application for exploring and mining large email archives. Its interface is designed to make it easy to find the answers to common questions: who the message originator was, when messages were sent, how frequently, who was included in the exchange, and the subject and content. The app interface is designed around search, filters and a series of panels that open to the right when results and sub-results are clicked on. The prototype can be tried out via the minezy website, and is pre-loaded with the Enron collection of emails for exploration.
Analysis
Minitab provides tools for statistical analysis and visualization. It includes tools for creating graphics, and working with variance, regression, reliability, sample size, time series, forecasting, equivalence tests, tables, simulations, and distributions.
Analysis
Minnesota Contextual Content Analysis is a free legacy tool that has been maintained online. It characterizes texts based on relative frequency, and generates statistical analysis from it. It also includes classifications and is designed to handle texts in a wide range of lengths.
