I'm looking for a list of Natural Language Processing Tools for Windows.
In particular, I'm interested in the tools that can convert paragraphs
of English text into "questions" and "answers" or "facts". |

Hello, knowser:
I suggest you to take a look to VisualText:
VisualText overview
http://www.textanalysis.com/Products/Overview/overview.html
Allows you to integrate Natural Language Processing capabilities into
your applications. Please, let me know if you need further
information.
Regards.

Thank you, this is a good start. As a complete answer I need a list of
available tools so I can compare then to each other feature-wise and
price-wise. Thank you.

Hello, knowser:
There is a Natural Language Software Registry here:
Natural Language Software Registry
http://registry.dfki.de/
"The Natural Language Software Registry (NLSR) is a concise summary of
the capabilities and sources of a large amount of natural language
processing (NLP) software available to the NLP community. It comprises
academic, commercial and proprietary software with specifications and
terms on which it can be acquired clearly indicated."
It also features a search form which you can use to search for
software which works for Windows, has an specific license and
processes English language.
Also, there is a category for Natural Language tools on the Google Directory:
Computers > Artificial Intelligence > Natural Language > Tools
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/Natural_Language/Tools/
It would be acceptable as an answer a list extracted from these two resources?
Regards.

I would accept as an answer a compilation from these or other sources,
which lists the NLP software which:
a) available for Windows;
b) has User Interface (not interested in APIs or libraries);
c) processes English language;
d) supported commercially or otherwise (not obsolete and not a
"vaporware" neither);
The list needs to include: name, link to the web site, a short
description, price (if available).
For extra credit and tip include the indication of popularity of the
software collected from the independent (not company's web-site)
sources.
Thank you.

Hello, knowser:
It's very hard to compile such list because most (if not all) NLP
tools are APIs or Libraries to integrate in your own software. There
is no reason to develop a NLP tool to analize text if it's not for
demonstration purposes of the API/Library, in any case, here is a nice
web interface to a tool that can help you:
Try the EP4IR Grammar of English
http://www.cs.kun.nl/agfl/npx/try.html
It's also available for windows under the GPL license.
Regards.

Thank you joseleon.
Eventhough this is not what I initially wanted, you did the research
and deserve reimbursement for it. I lowered the Question price to $50.
I will accept as an answer a list of NLP software available for
Windows and supported at the present time commercially or otherwise.
(I dropped the requirement for User Interface). Thank you.

Hello, knowser:
I'm sorry, but I have only been able to find three tools that may
fit your needs, I have been looking all the tools listed at:
Natural Language Software Registry
http://registry.dfki.de/
and here
Computers > Artificial Intelligence > Natural Language > Tools
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/Natural_Language/Tools/
And most of them are university projects, which are not very suitable
to get support, also, are not so specific to process language, but to
perform some of the steps to fully process a language, so I can only
post these results:
VisualText
http://www.textanalysis.com/index.html
Connexor
http://www.connexor.com/
AGFL
http://www.cs.kun.nl/agfl/
GPL License
I will understand if you want to cancel this question and post a new
one to see if another researcher comes up with more results.
Regards.

Thank you joseleon. Your dilligence and efforts brought the result,
which, while not exactly what I initially was looking for, is valuable
nevertheless. You deserve being paid for your work. I will accept your
last comment as an answer. Thank you.
