Bitext has developed a software platform that analyzes natural language text, based on linguistic knowledge (dictionaries, grammars and ontologies). Bitext’s goal is to provide language technology to any third-party application; from search to sentiment analysis, contextual advertising, spam filters, business intelligence, etc. From their platform, Bitext can develop a solution for any third-party application in a matter of weeks, such as NaturalFinder for search engines. It also offers easy and quick integration (one day for a new search engine) that is compatible with any platform, has a multilingual approach to language analysis, and a low footprint (> 5MB HD space).
