Voyant Tools

The book Hermeneutica: Computer-Assisted Interpretation in the Humanities demonstrates different approaches to text analysis using Voyant.

[4] Voyant Tools was developed by Stéfan Sinclair (McGill) and Geoffrey Rockwell (University of Alberta) and continues to be updated.

Contributors have included Andrew MacDonald, Cyril Briquet, Lisa Goddard, and Mark Turcato.

[1] Researchers have used Voyant Tools to analyze texts in a wide range of contexts including literature,[5] language teaching,[6] healthcare,[7][8] and system architecture.
