Building NLP applications from scratch is a difficult task that takes a lot of time and requires acquiring a lot of NLP knowledge. For a rich language like Arabic the difficulties is increased significantly. In this paper, we investigated how to build a tool that helps NLP application developers to build rapid and robust applications. It involves two steps. Firstly, using COM objects technology in building common NLP tools. Secondly, building NLP applications that uses these tools which can access these tools either locally or remotely. We have demonstrated the capabilities of the COM objects in developing NLP tools such as morphological analyzer and used it for building two Arabic NLP applications.
