T.A.P (Text Analysis Program) was a program for literary analysis developed in the 1970s at Emory University. It could also generate concordances and word-frequency lists, measure types and tokens, and show collocates for key words defined by the user. T.A.P. was developed in Assembly Language for Emory's UNIVAC Spectra 70/17.

TABARI (Text Analysis By Augmented Replacement Instructions) is a legacy open-source successor to the KEDS program, written in C++ and maintained online to the present in an OS X edition. It runs in the Terminal command prompt, and is designed for analyzing short news stories such as wire service reports. It can determine who is acting against whom, the action and extract the date of the release.

Tableau Public is a free data visualization tool aimed at online publishers and academics. It can be used to create an interactive visualization, and also enables users to publish it to the web as an embed or share it via a link. Users must download the desktop interface, and all projects created through the system are saved remotely to the Tableau Public server rather than to the user's local machine. It is availabe for both Windows and OS X, and has a visual interface with a simple drag and drop process.

TACT (Text Analysis Computing Tools) is a historically important text analysis and retrieval system that was developed from 1986 to 1989 at the University of Toronto in cooperation with IBM and remained in use into the 1990s. It was designed to run in MS-DOS and permitted inquiries on text databases in a number of European languages. Originally available on two 1.44MB floppy disks, the full fileset is now available for free download.
Analysis
TACTweb 1.0 is a free, historically important experimental web-based implementation of the TACT (Text Analysis Computing Tools) analysis and retrieval system, utilizing code originally written for TACT 2.0. TACTweb 1.0 is designed to make a TACT TDB database accessible to web users without requiring them to have a copy of TACT themselves. TACTweb 1.0 enables users to query TACT in its query language without having to learn the rest of the system. It is currently available for download, and is intended for install on a server.
Analysis
TagCrowd is a tool for generating a frequency-based word cloud from a source text, with a free browser version available through the TagCrowd website. A commercial version may also be purchased, subject to a creative commons license.
