The pleasure of open source tools



Joel showed me this great website

http://lextutor.ca/tuples/eng/
It is quite incredible what it can do in terms of calculating bi-grams, 3-grams etc for you.

I also was told by my friend Hema about the voices in the NeoSpeech Lab

NeoSpeech Text-to-Speech voices | Interactive TTS Demo | TTS SDK

Besides being amazingly realistic they can be used as a proof reading tool for your paper,
if you have the patience to paste it into their  sample box, paragraph by paragraph...

There is also the XLE  online that the Norwegians made available here INESS :: XLE-Web.

But my favourites are  the OpenMultiLingual WordNet Multilingual Wordnet 1.0

and the Portuguese corpus Corpus do Português. Go NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities)!
