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.
Visualization
Letter-Pairs Analysis is a free, web-based tool for calculating and visualizing the number of times a pair of letters appears in a given text. Each pair is represented as a 'bubble', sized according to how frequently that pair appears in the text. An HTML5 version is also now available. Note : this tool forms the basis of Voyant Bubbles.
Visualization
Leximancer is an application for identifying key concepts in a text, and exploring the results through interactive visualizations and data exports. It includes concept and network cloud visualizations, a sentiment lens, a query system, and multiple data export options for futher analysis. The system accepts texts in a variety of formats including plain text, CSV, HTML and XML, and supports 17 languages beyond English. Users can either purchase a license for the desktop version (Windows and OS X supported), or purchase access to the online LexiPortal, which charges based on months of usage rather than on a subscription basis. A free trial of the LexiPortal is also available.
Visualization
Lexos is a free, web-based workflow for text analysis offered by Wheaton College's Lexomics Project. Lexos is the most recent and distinct iteration of the Lexomics system of tools, enabling users to upload a text and use the Lexos interface to apply transformations, visualizations, scrubbing and analytic processes without needing to re-add the text for each step.
Visualization
The Lippmannian Device to Gephi is a free, web-based tool for converting the output of the Digital Methods Association's Googlescraper (Lippmannian Device) tool to a format suitable for Gephi visualization. From a Googlescraper file, it generates a GEXF file with defined nodes and weighted edges based on the queries and URLs in the original file. Once loaded into Gephi, the nodes can be resized to emphasize the most important query/URL combinations.
Visualization
LitViz is a tool available online for the visualisation of text-information as a 3D-graph. The algorithm uses multiple techniques from NLP (Natural Language Processing) like Stanford PoS-Tagger, Lemmatizer, Tokenizer and more to generate the necessary dataset for the 3D-function.
Visualization
Lucidchart is an online diagram tool that enables users to easily visualize complex information through flow charts, mind maps and other diagram types. Multiple users can work together simultaneously to edit a document. Lucidchart integrates with many platforms including Google Apps/Drive, Confluence, JIRA, Slack, ec. Free accounts are provided for educational use.
