Who Is TextWise?

Since 1994, TextWise has been designing, building and implementing complex content-driven technology solutions that have one unifying objective: To understand the meaning of text for the purpose of delivering useful, scalable, and relevant semantic applications. TextWise has developed some of the seminal work in text extraction and was one of the early developers of NLP search engine technology fueled by the US intelligence agencies' requirement for "smart" communications. We have a significant patent portfolio in extraction, search, categorization and classification using both NLP and statistics. TextWise is headquartered in Rochester, New York, has 25 employees and is VC funded.
