Lymbix

edit

Founded in 2009, Lymbix is an award-winning technology innovation company specializing in tools that help people and organizations be understood clearly. Their products measure the tone and emotional impact of words in everyday written language.

The Lymbix technology delivers highly precise sentiment analysis and determines how words and phrases expressed in blogs, posts, email, or other social media make people feel (e.g. Angry).

Current sentiment tools are limited to a simplistic scale of positive / neutral / negative. Lymbix is evolving these technologies by adding an emotional dimension to sentiment analysis.

Developer and partners in the Social CRM, Customer Support, Text Communications, and eDiscovery fields (among others) are able to add value to their products and services by leveraging the Lymbix API for a deeper understanding of the sentiment in text.

In addition to third-party applications, the Lymbix connotative database (ToneAPI) fuels the following products:

1. ToneCheck - Think of ToneCheck as an emotional spell check. ToneCheck ensures your tone is clearly communicated and understood before you hit the SEND button. (http://www.tonecheck.com)

2. Tweettone - Want to really know what people are saying about topics on Twitter? With tweettone, you can track and respond immediately to tweets based on their emotional content. Sign up for daily reports or monitor in real-time. (http://www.tweettone.com)

Interested parties can learn more about the API or sign up for an evaluation license at http://www.toneapi.com.

Lymbix is a Microsoft BizSpark One company.

Lymbix is headquartered in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
