nounally

Nounally is a linguistic software platform designed to analyze noun usage in written text. It provides noun phrase extraction, noun-type tagging (such as common versus proper nouns), and semantic tagging to help writers, editors, and researchers understand how nouns function within a document. The platform is available as a web application and through an API for developers.

Nounally was developed by Lumo Labs, a technology startup focused on language tools. The project began in 2017 with researchers in linguistics and natural language processing who sought to create a reliable tool for tracking noun usage across genres. A public beta was released in 2019, followed by a paid release in 2020, and the product has since evolved with ongoing updates and expansions.

Core features include multilingual support (English, Spanish, French, German), high-precision noun detection using neural models, distinctions between common and proper nouns, singular/plural forms, and countability status. It also offers analytics such as noun diversity, frequency distribution, and contextual usage. Data can be exported as JSON or CSV, and integration through a REST API is supported for workflow automation and software development.

Applications of Nounally span academic writing and editing, content strategy, language learning, and linguistic research. The system is designed to assist with style guides, terminology management, and readability analyses. Critics note that performance depends on training data quality and that ongoing updates are necessary to cover domain-specific vocabulary. Nounally provides tiered pricing, a free tier with limited queries, and enterprise options for large-scale implementations.
