Breadboard is an application that allows one to easily find and view authors, with a compact representation of their connections to other authors, places, literary references, organizations and miscellaneous.

The translate skin is a custom skin for Voyeur Tools which offers multiple translations of the same document. Target languages for the translations are chosen from a comprehensive list and the Google Translate API is used to provide the resulting texts. These are used to populate the final view which consists of a series of Cirrus tools, one for each translation.

Further translations can be produced for any of the texts by selecting one from the “Next Translation” drop-down. The Cirrus tools can be arranged in two layouts: tile, and circular. They can also be re-sized and moved to produce a custom layout.

This tool lists words in an plain text document, either uploaded by the user or from a web address. List Words works with relatively small texts of under a megabyte in size. It is part of the TAPoRware collection of tools; there are XML and HTML versions available as well.

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

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

This tool extracts texts from user-specified HTML tags, elements and attributes. There is no XML counterpart at present.

This tool is a Java applet that allows the user to paint with words extracted from an online document. Java 1.4.2_08 or newer is required.

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.

DocuBurst is a free web-based visualization tool for exploring the contents of a text.  Visitors can upload their own text or view those provided by others. DocuBurst presents an interactive chart called a ‘radial sunburst’ diagram which organizes the nouns extracted from the user-supplied text based on their meaning, and colours them based on frequency, revealing common themes in the text.  The visualization also shows the proper nouns (e.g. character names) in a linked word cloud. The visualization may be zoomed, filtered, or refocused to target types of words of interest (e.g. “animal” words or “feeling” words).  The visualization also provides a comparison tool to contrast word use across two documents.  DocuBurst views can be bookmarked, annotated, shared, and embedded in your own website.

Comparison Arcs is a free proof of concept tool demonstrating a method for comparing the linguistic properties of multiple documents in graphical displays. Both texts may be searched in parallel for words, lemmas and parts of speech. This project is seeking partners for further development.

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.
