What are Tools for Text Analytics?
Text analytics is widely used to help understand market research, user research and customer experience data.
Some common uses include:
Text analytics aims to convert unstructured (open text) data into structured data that can then be analysed quantitatively, visualised in charts or combined with other data for deeper insights.
Analysis of NPS surveys, for example, frequently combines data from the rating scale question (likelihood to recommend) with coded data from the open-ended follow up question (‘please explain why you gave that rating‘).
Most text analytics tools use a branch of Artificial Intelligence called Natural Language Processing (NLP) – a machine learning technique.
As well as text analytics, NLP has a wide range of other uses, for example:
