NooJ is a freeware, linguistic engineering development environment used to formalize various types of textual phenomena (orthography, lexical and productive morphology, local, structural and transformational syntax) using a large gamut of computational devices (from Finite-State Automata to Augmented Recursive Transition Networks). NooJ includes tools to construct, test, debug, maintain and accumulate large sets linguistic resources, and can apply them to large texts.

Modules for a dozen languages are already available for free download: Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, English, French, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. A dozen other modules are under construction among them Croatian, as well.

NooJ™'s most exclusive characteristics are:
- NooJ can process texts and corpora in over 100+ file formats, including HTML, PDF, MS-OFFICE, all variants of UNICODE, ASCII, etc. It can import information from, and export its annotations back to XML documents.
- NooJ's linguistic engine uses an annotation system that allows all levels of grammars to be applied to texts without modifying them; this allows linguists to formalize various phenomena independently, and to apply the corresponding grammars in cascade. For instance, by combining inflection, derivation and syntactic data, NooJ can perform Harris-type transformations.

NooJ is used as a linguistic engineering development platform, a corpus processor, an information extraction system, a terminological extractor, an Machine Translation development tool as well as to teach linguistics and computational linguistics.

Max Silberztein has constructed the first package of Finite State tools for NLP together with the French DELAC-DELACF dictionaries for compound words for his PhD research from 1986 to 1989 at the LADL (University of Paris 7-CNRS) under the supervision of prof. Maurice Gross. Since 2002. He has been working on NooJ. He teaches at the Universite de Franche-Comte in Paris. He teaches:
1. Linguistic engineering at the University Paris 4 (Sorbonne nouvelle, Paris) 
2. The formalization of natural languages at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO, Paris) 
3. Automatic Lexical Analysis at the Univ. de Franche-Comte (UFC, Besancon) 
4. Text and Discourse Analysis at the Univ. de Franche-Comte (UFC, Besancon)
