WORDS

WORDS was a text analysis program library for content analysis developed by Howard P. Iker at the University of Rochester. It identified major content themes, and generated word frequencies and collocations, and was sufficiently complex to require a 200-page user manual. This program is no longer available and does not have a web presence.

KLIC (Key Letter in Context)

KLIC (Key Letter in Context) was a program for graphological anaylsis particularly useful to scholars analyzing the language of medieval texts, created by Grace B. Logan of the Waterloo Arts Computing Office. It assisted in determining where different spelllings represent different pronunciations, and when they are variant spellings of the same word.

COCOA

COCOA was a program and markup language for generating word counts and concordances written in FORTRAN, from the University College Cardiff and the Atlas Computer Laboratory. It produced keyword-in-context concordances and word frequency profiles for texts, and was considered to be a powerful, highly flexible program for punched card computers.

Visualization

Massive Pixel Environment

Massive Pixel Environment (formerly Most Pixels Ever: Cluster Edition) is a library from the Texas Advanced Computing Center's A Thousand Words Project, inspired by and expanding on the original Most Pixels Ever developed by Daniel Shiffman. It extends Processing sketches to multi-node tile displays, enabling users to display output across multiple systems and displays, at the native resolution of those displays. This allows for a dramatic increase in the amount of data that may be visualized at one time, in comparison to a single-screen display.

Meld

Meld is a free, open source tool for comparing files, directories and version-controlled projects developed in Python by Kai Willadsen. It features two- and three-way comparison of files and directories, supports numerous version control systems, and is particularly useful for reviewing changes to code. This tool can be downloaded or run without an install via the command line by copying the source code directly from the repository.
