WordStat is a flexible content analysis and text mining tool that can quickly extract themes, trends, and patterns from large collections of text data such as customer feedback, emails, open-ended responses, interview transcripts, incident reports, patents, legal documents, blogs, and websites. Its seamless integration with SimStat (a statistical data-analysis tool) and QDA Miner (a qualitative data analysis software program) gives unprecedented flexibility for analyzing text and relating unstructured content to structured information, such as numerical or categorical data and dates.
WordStat is used by market researchers and pollsters, crime analysts and paralegal professionals, business intelligence experts, and a wide range of social scientists.
