I am pleased to announce the first public release of the QTAG
parts-of-speech tagger. It is based on the email-tagger that has been
running at the Corpus Research Group in Birmingham for a few years
now.

The tagger consists of two parts, a server (written in C) and a client
(written in Java). In order to tag data, you need a pre-tagged text as
training data (which is not supplied). The tagger is language-independent
and works with any tagset.

More information and instructions on how to download the tagger can be found
on the page http://www-clg.bham.ac.uk/QTAG
