I’m building a client-side suite of text mining tools for extracting intelligence from text files, Web pages, and email documents. It comes in four versions: basic, intermediate, advance, and pro. The basic version provide the following reports:
linearization – markup removal
tokenization – punctuation removal
filtration – stopwords removal
