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
Textable is a an add-on tool developed for the Orange data mining and visualization package. Its functions include the ability to build data tables from textual data, to import data from other sources, and to build concordances and collocations. It also enables users to segment and annotate text, systematically recode data, determine subsets, and compute frequency and complexity measures.
Visualization
Textal is a text analysis app for the iPhone and iPad offered by the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities. It creates word clouds from texts, websites, tweets and documents, then allows users to explore the statistics and relationships between words in the text. As a tool, it is intended as an introduction to to text analysis while expanding the functionality traditionally implemented in word clouds.
Visualization
TextAnnotator is a web based annotation tool implemented with the JavaScript framework ExtJS and the visualization library d3.js that can process and annotate NLP documents in UIMA (Unstructured Information Management applications) format. TextAnnotator is a framework that offers several annotation tools for generating IMA-compliant training data that can be used to train classifiers in support of the needs of humanities scholars. Note: The tool is currently not working.
Visualization
TextDNA is a free tool for large-scale overview analysis of linguistic data offered by the University of Wisconsin, Madison. It identifies patterns within a text, and enables users to compare ordered sets of data with its sequence visualization. It can be used with texts stored in databases, Google N-Grams datasets and CSV files.
Visualization
Textexture is a free, web-based tool for visualizing texts as a network. The visualization gives a quick visual summary of the text. Clicking on nodes brings up the excerpts the tool has identified as most relivant, and permits users to locate similar texts. Users can upload their own text, or visualize texts from Textexture's library of public texts.
Visualization
TextImager is a UIMA-based framework that offers a range of NLP and visualization tools by means of a user-friendly GUI. Using TextImager requires no programming skills. It can be used as on online web application. Note: The tool is presently not functional.
