Leximancer launches new online collaborative research portal
Announcement posted by UniQuest Pty Limited 16 Apr 2012
Australian software company Leximancer Pty Ltd and US-based Lexical Edge have announced the launch of TextInsight.net - a new web portal to support researchers, academics, and commercial users performing qualitative analyses.
Leximancer Pty Ltd was established by research commercialisation company UniQuest in 2006, as a University of Queensland start-up for taking its groundbreaking text analytics software to the global market.
Lexical Edge provides text analytics services and is the North and South American reseller of Leximancer products.
Qualitative research projects have large amounts of data, require decisions that impact the value of the analysis, and often involve mastering expensive and complex software analysis tools. TextInsight.net supports and connects experienced qualitative researchers, and introduces beginners to Leximancer qualitative software.
“Revealing the meaning in data is the Holy Grail of qualitative research, and it used to be a lonely and expensive quest.” said Lexical Edge CEO, Mike Neal.
“This is no longer the case as TextInsight.net, provides a guide and companion for the journey,” he said.
Leximancer director Joe McLean said that while TextInsight.net is expected to be adopted by academic researchers, commercial users can also benefit.
“The Leximancer text analytics software is popular with academics at more than 100 universities internationally, but it is also being used extensively in the commercial world and by government agencies,” Mr McLean said.
“TextInsight.net provides resources and an active online community where researchers, instructors, professors, students, and commercial analysts can find training, meet and discuss research ideas and approaches, and expand their knowledge of qualitative analysis, text analytics, text mining, big data challenges, and social media analysis.”
TextInsight.net is sponsored by Lexical Edge and provided at no cost to users. Free accounts can be registered by visiting the site: http://www.textinsight.net. More information is also available by emailing info@textinsight.net
