TextArc is a free visualization tool that represents an entire text on a single page. It has elements of an index, concordance and summary all in one place, encouraging the viewer to use its juxtapositions to uncover meaning. The web-based applet is preloaded with thousands of text collected from Project Gutenberg. Note: TextArc was designed for browsers circa 2002 and requires Java SE 6 to run.

Corpus Clouds is a free Java demo of a novel interface to a corpus query engine. It aims to aid the user in exploratory search by providing visual information about frequency and distribution of search results in combination with the standard KWIC elements.

ATLAS.ti is a tool for systematic qualitative data analysis released under a for-pay license. It offers multi-window frames, overviews generated through interactive network views utilizing visual interconnections, and cloud views and reports. A free demo version is also availalble, and does not include a time limit. This tool was first developed in 1989 and has been in continous development since. The web edition has been available since 2002.

TACT (Text Analysis Computing Tools) is a historically important text analysis and retrieval system that was developed from 1986 to 1989 at the University of Toronto in cooperation with IBM and remained in use into the 1990s. It was designed to run in MS-DOS and permitted inquiries on text databases in a number of European languages. Originally available on two 1.44MB floppy disks, the full fileset is now available for free download.

JConcorder is Java software for building and managing word catalogues, originally released for the Macintosh as Concorder / Le Concordeur.

VINCI is a natural language generation environment, first introduced in 1986 and with a sustained web presence. It provides linguists with a collection of linguist-friendly metalanguages for modelling natural language. It can generate sentences and words according to user specifications to assist in the study of linguistic phenomena.

FINNMORF was a tool for generating full lexical paradigms for Finnish words. It modelled Finnish morphological competence, to facilitate identification of the most likely forms of a word within its context. Although the program could not select the correct form from context, the complexity of Finnish required sophisticated modelling to correctly determine the possible root form of a given word. As such, FINNMORF represented a significant contribution to computational linguistics.
