Text Analysis with Voyant In-Person
In this session, participants will learn how to conduct text analysis using Voyant, a free, open source, web-based text analysis platform.
Text Analysis is a set of computational techniques drawn from Natural Language Processing (NLP) that focus on identifying, extracting, organizing, and analyzing patterns within large bodies of textual data. Rather than concentrating on emotional tone alone, text analysis examines what is being discussed, how language is used, and how themes, concepts, and relationships emerge across texts.
The goal of text analysis is to uncover meaningful patterns and structures in text, such as key themes, word frequencies, topics, trends over time, stylistic features, and relationships between terms, to support interpretation, comparison, and research questions that would be difficult to address through close reading alone.
No experience required. Free and open to the public.
