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
This tool creates a graphical distribution list of words found within specific XML elements. HTML and plain text versions are also available within the TAPoRware toolsets. This tool’s functionality has been incorporated into Voyant available online at www.voyant-tools.org
Visualization
An application for visualizing a specific collection of authors, and the links or associations between them. Links are determined by co-occurrence in the Orlando dataset. The current dataset consists of authors, other people associated with them, and the text entries upon which these associations are based. The application is designed in such a way that it could be extended to use other datasets as well. The display can be customized in the several ways. Node colours, shapes and sizes can be altered. More significantly, the layout of the graph can be chosen from amongst several different algorithms. As the collection is quite large, there are many filtering options available. In terms of author, the following categories can be specified: gender, author/non-author, and author nationality. The user can create complex search queries of the authors and the text, and specify a date restriction for the authors' life span. Each association in the text has been tagged with one or more semantic attributes, i.e. the type or meaning of the relation between the people. These tags have been organized into a tree, moving from general to more specific relations. Each tag in the tree can be checked/unchecked, further filtering the results. Finally, a data set and customizations can be saved as a session which can then be loaded at a later time. In addition, screenshots of the current layout can be saved to an image file.
Visualization
Bubblelines lets you compare the distribution of words across documents. Each document is a horizontal line with bubbles where the word appears. Documentation here.
Visualization
Mandala is a visualization tool that imports “textual” files to perform analysis on the frequency and linkage of words. For example, you may import a play and find the linkage and frequency between a word and its speaker.
Visualization
Term Fountain is a tool for visualizing word frequencies, and a part of the Voyant suite of tools. It takes the most common words in a corpus and represents them as a fountain. This tool is still in beta.
Visualization
Term Frequencies Chart shows how terms are distributed across document(s) in a corpus (documents are shown in the order in which they were added).
