CasualTagger

CasualTagger is a simple tagging helper application. It can also add POS-tags using TreeTagger, MeCab, macOS's built-in tagger, Stanford CoreNLP, and Prof. Yoichiro Hasebe's EngTagger. You need to install TreeTagger, MeCab, or Stanford CoreNLP to use these taggers (CasualTagger has a built-in installer for TreeTagger). You can use the MeCab installer on this page to install MeCab on you Mac.

EngTagger is a Ruby port of Perl's Lingua::En::Tagger module.  What CasualTagger does is simply use EngTagger to add Part-of-Speech (POS) tags to English text from various files that include text data.  So you need to have EngTagger installed on your Mac.  For more information about EngTagger, check this site.

Because CasualTagger depends on those tagger, speed/accuracy/quality of tagging is as fast/good as those taggers.  At least I can say tagging process takes a lot of time if you process multiple files.

CasualTagger also has the Editor mode, which allows you to manually add tags to your text.  It has simple word count and kwic functions.
