Lexalytics, Inc. provides enterprise and hosted text analytics software to transform unstructured text into structured data. 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.

The software uses natural language processing technology to extract the above-mentioned items from social media and forums; the voice of the customer in surveys, emails, and call-center feedback; "traditional media"; pharmaceutical research and development; internal enterprise documents; and others.

Corporate customers include Cisco Systems, Lithium Technologies, Vocus, Thomson Reuters, and ProQuest. Lexalytics software is often deployed as part of a search solution in conjunction with search partners. These partners include Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS Media Group, as Cymfony), Microsoft, and Endeca.

In July 2008, Lexalytics entered into a joint-venture merger agreement with U.K based Infonic. Lexalytics continues to operate under its own name worldwide.
