Alchemist home page

The original purpose of Alchemist is to allow you to read in raw text files and create morphological gold-standards in XML format. Using Alchemist, you can identify morphemes, along with a number of important characteristics of the morphemes, such as whether they are roots or affixes, the degree of analyst certainty, and allomorphs of the morpheme.

Alchemist is also a good general tool for sorting and filtering lists of words, because it allows the user to easily use regular expressions applied to words.
