Tool for text and keyword analysis: Topicalizer

Hello everbody,

I would like to introduce a new tool for text analysis, which was (and is being) developed by me:
http://www.topicalizer.com/

This software analyses a given text input regarding aspects like type / token frequency, lexical density, sentence and paragraph structure, readability, word frequencies, collocations, possible keywords and many more.

Apart from that it automatically creates an abstract for a given text.

SOunds like an interesting idea, but the site is not working for me, it keeps on showing me the index page even after entering a url and hitting the 'Topicalize' button.

 

That's strange. Which browser do you use and with which URL did you try it out?

 

Doesn't work for IE. Firefox is fine.

 

Thanks for this helpful feedback.
This is a really strange problem,because the site works equally well in IE for MacOS X and I cannot see for the moment what makes it choke in IE for Windows.

 

I've had this problem before. I'm guessing in /process/ you're checking for a variable called "submit". IE does not submit it that (always? sometimes?). Anyway, the solution is to create a hidden field and then check that. I hope I'm making sense.

Of course, it could be something completely different Please post back if you need more help.

 

Thanks for your help. I have just added another hidden field called 'submit' and, could you maybe check again if it works now?

@eKstreme: The keyword extraction tool from your signature looks quite nice, too

 

I can confirm it's working in IE6 on WinXP SP2 One suggestion: at the moment, the Topicalizer is identifying itself as "Mozilla/5.0". May I suggest you send a more informative user agent string? Web log junkies (me included) would like that, and it can add to your publicity.

Glad you like the KEA. It works quite well to identify most keywords a page ranks for. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please PM me

 

Thanks a lot for your help and feedback, I will think about what identity Topicalizer will use in the future.

 

Hi!

Tried to check my sites but kept getting:

"URL could not be retrieved:
mysite.com"

Tried it with and without "http" and "www" in Firefox 1.5 and IE 6.0.

 

All is working fine now, must have been the IE issue, thanks for looking into it. Handy little tool, thanks for making it available.

 

This was a firewall-related issue, which has been solved by now.

 

Topicalizer now identifies itself as 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Topicalizer/www.topicalizer.com)'

 

Indeed it does. Thank you

 

There are several new tools available under:

http://topicalizer.com/similarDocuments/
http://topicalizer.com/augmentKeywords/
http://topicalizer.com/coOccurrences/

With the first one you can find web pages that are similar to a URL or text content-wise.
The second one finds synonyms and related terms (hypernyms, hyponyms, generic terms) for a text.
The last tool finally makes use of large corpora of different text categories in order to find words that co-occur frequently with the words which have been entered.
