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.

UDPipe is a trainable pipeline for tokenization, tagging, lemmatization and dependency parsing of CoNLL-U files. UDPipe is language-agnostic and can be trained given annotated data in CoNLL-U format. Trained models are provided for nearly all UD treebanks. UDPipe is available as a binary for Linux/Windows/OS X, as a library for C++, Python, Perl, Java, C#, and as a web service. Third-party R CRAN package also exists.
Analysis
The UMDHMM: Hidden Markov Model Toolkit is a free UNIX implementation of hidden Markov models useful for speech recognition from Tapas Kanungo. It includes implementations of the Forward-Backward, Viterbi and Baum-Welch algorithms.
Analysis
Umigon is a tool used for the sentiment analysis of texts. It is one of the tools of the Nocode app which is a suite of text analysis tools. Results can be exported in Excel or CSV format for further analysis. It was formerly a stand alone web-based and open-source tool for the sentiment analysis of tweets. From a person's Twitter handle, Umigon retrieved that account's tweets and processed them for sentiment while accounting for factual statements (ex: "I hate war" will be classified has negative, and "war in Syria" will be classified as neutral). Tweets could also be pasted manually in the entry box provided. Beyond sentiment analysis, Umigon could identify characteristics such as whether the tweet contains a question, whether it contains possible promotional/commercial subject matter, or temporal indicators based on tense. The developer of this application can be reached on Twitter. As of April 2022, Umigon has been archived after a long period without new developments.
Analysis
UNICON was a concordance generator written in FORTRAN IV and available in the 1960s. It was available first for the IBM 7094, and for IBM 1410/7090 computers after 1970.
Analysis
UNICORN was a concording system developed in the 1970s. It was developed in FORTRAN IV to replace more restricted programs at at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and could process most machine-readable texts.
Analysis
FeatureLens is a free tool for visualizing and exploring patterns in text collections. This tool integrates the results of text-mining algorithms, and can assist in finding frequent words or ngrams, enabling the discovery of fuzzy repetition patterns. In addition, the tool will recommend features based on particular pattern types identified in the text.
