NLP Suite

A freeware, open-source package for Natural Language Processing and visualization

The NLP Suite provides humanists and social scientists a wide range of computational tools for the analysis and visualization of text data — no programming required. Our target user is someone with little-to-no NLP expertise.

Get Started

Download and install the NLP Suite — download a zip, extract, and double-click. No Python, Anaconda, or Java installation needed.

Available for:

• Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
• macOS (Apple Silicon — M1/M2/M3/M4/M5)

What Can It Do?

The NLP Suite offers 50+ GUIs covering:

• Text analysis — tokenization, lemmatization, POS tagging, named entity recognition, dependency parsing, coreference resolution, SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) extraction, SRL (Semantic Role Labeling) extraction
• Sentiment & emotion analysis — BERT, Stanza, VADER, SentiWordNet, ANEW, hedonometer, NRC emotion wheel (with Plutchik visualization)
• Topic modeling — Gensim LDA, MALLET
• Word embeddings — BERT, Gensim Word2Vec
• Knowledge graphs — WordNet aggregation, DBpedia, YAGO
• Data visualization — geographic maps (Google Earth, Folium), network graphs (Gephi, vis.js), word clouds, Sankey charts, sunburst charts, boxplots, treemaps, heatmaps, timelines, and more
• Corpus tools — n-grams, co-occurrences, text readability, style analysis
• File handling & pre-processing — file conversion (PDF/DOCX/RTF to TXT), file merging/splitting, spell checking, filename standardization, file searching, duplicate detection, encoding validation
• Style analysis & corpus statistics — sentence complexity (Yngve, Frazier, subordination ratio, dependency distance), lexical diversity (TTR, MTLD, vocd-D), readability scores (Flesch, Gunning Fog, Coleman-Liau), character emotion arcs, entity timelines, frequency distributions, word type/token ratio

Key Features

• No programming needed — everything is accessed through graphical user interfaces with ? help buttons and hover-over tooltips
• Self-contained — the standalone build bundles Python, Stanza, spaCy, NLTK, WordNet, BERT, and 50+ other packages
• 150+ TIPS files — extensive documentation accessible from every GUI
• Sample data included — start testing immediately on first launch
