Topic Detection

Of late, i have been trying to extract topics from a given text. I found that there were a few tools that are available but am yet to figure out how to get them working. The problem with these tools are that they are written in different languages and every time one wants to use a new tool one needs to learn a new language. Matlab Topic Modelling Toolbox 1.3.2 http://psiexp.ss.uci.edu/research/programs_data/toolbox.htm seems to be an interesting tool to explore. The issue i face with most of the tools is that they were developed with a certain assumption in mind. We are therefore never sure if the results are accurate for our problem so there i am trying to find a simple solution me being the lazy person that i am.
