- coan
coan is a fairly flexible program, which enables users to develop their own dictionaries. It performs a number of textual statistics, among others concordances. However, the manual is only in German available and its Windows-3.1-style interface is not intuitive. - Diction
Diction analysis political texts using a dictionary based on the categorization scheme developed by Roderick P. Hart. Hart's scheme distinguishes 5 main semantic features — activity, optimism, certainty, realism and commonality. It also attempts to analyze the tenacity of a speech. Its customization for alternative analyses is highly limited. Whilst we have not evaluated Diction yet, consult Kimberly Neuendorf's review of Diction. - General Inquirer
General Inquirer performs content analyses with dictionaries based on the Lasswell and Harvard IV-4 dictionaries. - MAXdictio
MAXdictio is an add-on for MAXqda, which facilitates the development of dictionaries for automatic coding in MAXqda. - Prospéro

TABARI, developed at KEDS, uses a dictionary based approach to extract event data from news reports. Although the program has mainly been used for conflict data from English language sources, its dictionaries are easily customizable for the analyses of all types of events from data in any language using the Latinic alphabet. - TextQuest
