#2Cool demo, but how do you guys compare to, say, Alchemy API ?
Also, no pricing => not cool.

#4Really impressive results. I put in some music reviews, and it did an excellent job of identifying artists, Genres, labels, etc. From an API perspective,there's not much out there that competes with this - and nothing with a modern API.

#5No pricing at all on the website is fishy for anyone who wants to use the free plan?

#6Wow, this seems incredible, signed up immediately. My mind is already spinning with all of the cool apps I could make with this. How hard would it be to allow this functionality offline for paid users? You could have some sort of packaged library which phones home to count requests used, but does the processing offline to take network latency out of the equation. Not sure if that's feasible, but it would be great.

#7This is just like stanford parser.

Why use TextRazor and pay for it ?

I offer something similar, and I do have a pricing page: http://kbsportal.com/pricing :-)

The Stanford NLP tools are very good, and also GPLed, which works for a lot of projects. If the GPL doesn't work for you, the Apache OpenNLP project is also good.

BTW, it is not just having software packages to use: it is a ton of work obtaining and preparing training data. That said, Stanford NLP and OpenNLP tools come out of the box with trained models for tagging, entity name recognition, etc. For lots of uses, these pre-trained models will work well for you.
