Programs falling in this category can be further divided into programs to
summarise texts, parsing programs that give you information of the semantic
structure of a text, and other programs. Information on the program CETA by Jan de Ridder and Capito by Semiotis GmbH were removed because there is no information on the web available (any more).
program: Profiler Plus 5.7.0
author: Michael Young
distributor: Social Science Net
documentation: none
download: Trial version data are limited
operating system(s): no information on web site
description: A general purpose content analysis engine designed for leadership analysis.
Profiler+ searches a sentence from left to right for ordered sets of tokens
(words and/or punctuation) that have been identified as indicators of a trait, of
another measure of interest or perhaps of a particular type of communication.
Profiler+ examines each token in turn and queries a database to determine if the
token serves as the anchor for any target sets. If the token does serve as an
anchor in one or more target sets the program determines if the other tokens in
the set are also present in the sentence in the appropriate order. If all the
tokens in a set can be matched then the indicated actions are taken - in the
simplest case a code is written to a file. Any remaining target sets that have
not been eliminated are ignored.
Personal comment on the website: does not contain much information, somehow crude.

ensuring the systematic location of textual segments defined by the user,
the production of an index; word lists sorted by alphabet or by frequency;
the categorisation of words, word-compounds or phrases; the definition of
variables to carry out multiple enumerations and lexicometric analyses;

operating system: MS-Windows
description:
T-LAB software is an all-in-one set of linguistic and statistical tools for text analysis which can be used in the following research fields: semantic analysis, content analysis, perceptual mapping, text mining, and discourse analysis.
Available versions are in English, French, Italian and Spanish, each with a dictionary and a knowledge base. Moreover, without automatic lemmatisation, T-LAB allows us to analyse texts in all languages supporting ASCII format.
T-LAB has three sub-menus: analyses and maps, lexicon, consultation.
All ANALYSES AND MAPS can be done with two kinds of settings: automatic or customised.
There is a limit on the file size of 10 MB, for most analyses this will not be exceeded.
