I've known about this tool for a long time but haven't used it. However, I do think it would be very useful to most business owners. And they can expand to a paid-for plan with more capacity if they want.

 

wanderingsalsero's curator insight, November 2, 2016 5:53 AM
I know this site has been around a while so it must be a survivor. I've always been tempted to try the free version of their product (referred to here) but the primary reason I never did was because I'm worried that too many plugins might drag down the load-time on it. But.... I definately think it's a great idea for the right blog and market.

It does a lot of the usual things, like parsing, concordancing and keywording, but also extends their potential significantly: you can concordance by searching for combinations of lexical and grammatical features, and can do keywording of lemmas, of subcorpora compared to corpora, or of words in certain positions within clauses.
