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.

twXplorer is a free, web-based tool for querying Twitter and exploring the search results based on common words, hashtags and commonly shared links. Each search brings up the 500 most recent tweets for that search term, and the tool permits users to save 'snapshots' for later analysis. twXplorer requires users to log in with their Twitter account.

TXM is a free, open source text corpus analysis environment. Its features include concordance, collocate search, frequencies based on the CQP full text search engine and statistical functions based on R packages. It can export results in CSV, XML or SVG format, and runs as a standalone desktop application in Windows, OS X and Linux environments, or as a web portal (download the leaflet for more).
Visualization
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.

VAnnotatoR is a system that massively supports the annotation of multimedia, multimodal networks of linguistic and object-related data in virtual 3D environments. VAnnotatoR allows for segmenting and linking texts and images with other multimedia, multimodal data to ultimately create spatial hypertexts. It can be used to support concrete technical applications, e.g. the reconstruction of 3D scenes from texts as a preparatory step for the training of Text2Scene systems, or for applications in the digital humanities, such as the spatial reconstruction and linking of historical scenes or biographies with corresponding media content, such as images or 3D reconstructions of historical buildings. The entire system is interactively accessible with VR glasses in Virtual Reality (VR) and can be controlled and experienced accordingly. VAnnotatoR uses TextAnnotator as technological backbone and thus all its functions for annotation, task management, annotation evaluation as well as for collaborative and simultaneous processing of resources. Furthermore, VAnnotatoR uses TextImager to benefit from its NLP routines for automatic text analysis. VAnnotatoR is implemented on the basis of Unity3D and OpenVR and therefore runs with both systems and several VR glasses – it was tested on Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift S, Oculus Quest, HTC Vive and HTC Vive Cosmos under Windows 10. A demonstration of its usage can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBUg8mHT0iI
Visualization
A website that explains statistical concepts and provides a web-based environment for performing those calculations. Tools include a graph maker, distribution generators, t-tests and procedures, and correlation and regression tests. All tools have been written in Javascript and run within the browser.
Visualization
Version Variation Visualization is an interrelated set of free, usable prototypes for visualizing and exploring culturally important works in relation to their world-wide translations. It allows users to explore either the inlcuded corpora or their own texts via time-maps, alignment maps, parallel views or a concordance view accommodating multiple translations in the same viewer. Version Variation Visualization is particularly valuable for its focus on translation and re-translation of text, and its capacity to accommodate and show multiple version of the same text or passage.
