LingPipe - A tool kit for processing text using computational linguistics

Looks pretty nice.<p>However, the "startup" license model at $9,500 a year really should give better support than "10 emails".<p>Would be nice if this was offered as an online service - especially if the price point was a lot lower.

Even if you don't use their product, the LingPipe blog is still worth reading.

Can HN recommend any cheaper (free) alternatives for a startup?
