In their own words
Leximancer
Leximancer analyzes collections of text and presents extracted information as concept maps for thematic analysis. It automatically identifies high-level concepts and provides interactive visualizations and data exports, with discovery and guided exploration modes that do not depend on user-defined dictionaries or phrase libraries. Topic Guide creates a subject index for a document collection without configuration. Listed applications include document processing, stakeholder and customer feedback, survey responses, media analysis, and social networks. Leximancer supports sentiment and topic analysis in 18 languages. LexiDesktop runs on macOS 10.15 or later and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11; LexiPortal provides a cloud option without installation on the user's computer. The service has a 30-day trial but no free plan. LexiPortal Monthly Subscription costs A$350 a month and includes 15GB project and document storage. Academic subscriptions and desktop licences have separate prices and eligibility terms; academic licences are restricted to non-commercial use by individual academics and enrolled students at recognized learning institutions. LexiPortal uses US-based service providers, and personal information may be disclosed to them.
