Voyant Tools is a web-based text reading and analysis environment. It is a scholarly project that is designed to facilitate reading and interpretive practices for digital humanities students and scholars as well as for the general public.
What you can do with Voyant:
Use it to learn how computers-assisted analysis works. Check out our examples that show you how to do real academic tasks with Voyant.
Use it to study texts that you find on the web or texts that you have carefully edited and have on your computer.
Use it to add functionality to your online collections, journals, blogs or web sites so others can see through your texts with analytical tools.
Use it to add interactive evidence to your essays that you publish online. Add interactive panels right into your research essays (if they can be published online) so your readers can recapitulate your results.
Use it to develop your own tools using their functionality and code.
Voyant’s tagline is “see through your text.” Computer-based text analysis is a helpful supplement to close reading: for example, it can provide quantitative confirmation of patterns that you notice in a text, allow you to quickly locate interesting words or phrases within a large corpus, and help to contextualize trends in word usage. Using a tool like Voyant at the beginning of a project may also help you to find interesting trends in a text that you’d like to research further.
