Lexalytics, Inc. provides enterprise and hosted text analytics software to transform unstructured text into structured data. [1] The software extracts entities (people, places, companies, products, etc), sentiment, quotes, "opinions", and themes (generally noun phrases) from text. Text is considered unstructured data which comprises somewhere between 31% and 85% of what is stored in any given enterprise. [2] [3]
