Flowerbed is a simple visualization tool for viewing up to two documents. Each document is presented as a “flowerbed”, wherein each word is a flower. The height of the flower is determined by the relative frequency of that word within the document. The petals on each flower represent features associated with the word. When two documents are present in chosen the corpus, the second is mirrored below the first. In this way it is possible to do a cursory comparison of the documents.

This tool compares two documents by comparing the words in each according to user specifications. HTML and plain text versions are also available in the TAPoRware toolsets.

This tool’s functionality has been incorporated into Voyant available online at www.voyant-tools.org.

The speech tagger allows you to highlight different parts of a text where each part is identified by a different colour. The tool uses TreeTagger to find the different parts of speech. Note that using the TreeTagger tool is very taxing on the server and may take a long time before results are returned.

MONK (Metadata Offer New Knowledge) is a digital environment for humanities scholars. It is desgined to assist with the discovery and analysis of patterns within texts, incorporating full text content from corpora such as ECCO, EEBO and Early American Fiction directly into the tool. The MONK Workbench is the primary environment, permitting users to create worksets, perform analytics and save their results. In addition, the MONK workbench can be used in conjunction with the Flameco faceted browser and Zotero.

MorphAdorner, now in version 2.0, is a Java command-line program for the adornment of words in a text.

NLTK 2.0 (Natural Language Tooklt) is a free, open source collection of Python modules, linguistic data and documentation for research and development in natural language processing and text analytics, with distributions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It offers a platform for building Python programs to work with human language data, and integrates a guide to programming fundamentals.

WordHoard is a tool for the study of large texts or transcribed speech. It annotates or tags texts by applying morphological, lexical, prosodic, and narratological criteria. Users may apply WordHoard to their own texts, or to the corpora included with the tool. At present, that corpora includes the entire canon of Early Greek epic (original and in translation), Chaucer, Shakespeare and Spencer.

RiTa is a free, open-source natural language library for work with generative literature, offered as both a 'core' package of jar files and documentation, and a text-to-speech package. It is designed to be simple and intuitive while still offering flexibility to advanced users via statistical models for tagging, chunking and parsing. RiTa may also be integrated with Processing.

Stanford CoreNLP is a free Natural Language Processing tool. It processes English language text and provides the base forms of words, parts of speech, indicates whether they are proper names, normalizes dates, times and numeric quantities, and marks up the structure of sentences. This tool integrates all other Stanford NLP tools for English language processing, including parts-of-speech (POS), the named entitiy recognizer (NER), the parser and the coreference resolution system. An online demo is also available.
