Repustate is announcing today the release of its new product: semantic analysis. Combined with sentiment analysis, Repustate provides any organization, from startup to Fortune 50 enterprise, all the necessary tools they need to conduct in-depth text analytics. For the impatient, head on over to the semantic analysis docs page to get started.

While previously we had resorted to using databases to keep all data synced up, it placed too much of a burden on our customers.
After months of development and great feedback from our private beta testers, Repustate is happy (and relieved) to release to the public multilingual sentiment analysis. Using the existing API and/or client libraries, you can now analyze text in languages other than English.
