Parts-of-speech finder software?

There's all sort of programs to analyse your word usage, but I think it would be next to impossible for one to do what you're asking. Too many words can be used as multiple types.

You might find our own Roger Carlson's MSWord macros useful.

Look here.

Try a google search for "POS tagger" to pick up some links. Most are probably going to be research tools used in the NLP field (Natural Language Processing), but you might be able to get some use out of them. Accuracy due to word sense disambiguation will of course be an issue, but there might be some POS tagger and WSD combos out there. I haven't actually looked since our company already has their NLP tool chain pretty tight for the moment (and I am just a programmer, not one of the awesome researchers who thinks of cool new approaches to NLP issues). I am not sure what the accuracy is on standalone POS taggers either since ours is chained in with other grammatical tools to boost its score, but you can probably find that info on the research papers associated with each POS tagger. Good luck!

take a look at autocrit.com, I think it does what you are looking for (at least to some degree)
