Use SPSS Software TextSmart for fast, reliable, complete analysis of open-ended survey responses
SPSS Software TextSmart is a breakthrough in survey research that makes analysis of responses to open-ended questions fast and affordable. With TextSmart, you finally have
a reliable means of doing quantitative analysis on text-based responses.
SPSS Software TextSmart
stands above other coding software because it makes cleaning, filtering and categorizing open-ended responses a snap - instead of a time-consuming chore. You spend dramatically less time coding responses and more time on productive analysis.
Using state-of-the-art linguistics technology and proven statistical algorithms, SPSS Software TextSmart
creates meaningful categories from open-ended survey responses. Plus TextSmart
gives you powerful tools for creating and revising categories to your needs. You get a complete, accurate picture of your respondents' attitudes, opinions and perceptions, and produce more valuable surveys.
You can't afford to sacrifice vital findings that can give you an edge on your competition. Look below to see how much value you can extract from open-ended responses with TextSmart

Discover new opportunities in your survey research with SPSS software
Gain a higher level of understanding about your respondents' attitudes, perceptions and opinions - ideas that can shape your strategies.
If you work in survey research, SPSS Software TextSmart is the tool to make your surveys more productive and successful. Where other methods fail, TextSmart
gives you the opportunity to analyze open-ended survey questions for a comprehensive understanding of your respondents.
TextSmart
automates the time-consuming tasks involved in coding responses and reduces to hours what used to take days. Now you can reliably and efficiently ask the questions you really want to ask - for survey answers you can really use.
Import and automatically filter responses with SPSS software
It's easy to get started with TextSmart. An intuitive Import Wizard guides you through the process of importing your responses in a tab-delimited (ASCII) file format. As
responses are introduced, TextSmart automatically cuts through the clutter by stemming, aliasing and excluding words to focus on terms important to creating meaningful categories.
- A stemming process uses powerful linguistics technology to comb through responses, searching for derivations of common root words, and combining terms to create stemmed aliases
(i.e., find, finding, finds).
- An aliasing technique combines synonyms (i.e., smart, wise, intelligent) into aliases automatically.
- An excluding process filters trivial words (i.e., be, is, the, of), creating a list of included terms that are valuable for building meaningful categories.
- TextSmart is "dictionary-free" so there's no burden of creating a coding scheme or "concept" dictionary prior to beginning your analysis.
Refine terms with powerful tools with SPSS software
TextSmart offers powerful, flexible tools that make it a snap to clean and refine the group of terms (words and aliases) created by the import process. These tools include:
- Integrated spell-checking (for both American and British spellings) to enhance the automatic categorization process.
- A drag-and-drop feature to easily choose terms to include or exclude for automatic categorization.
- A custom alias feature that enables you to create aliases that supplement the aliases created with TextSmart's automated stemming and aliasing procedures.
Categorize and revise quickly and efficiently with SPSS software
Choose automatic categorization and TextSmart
creates meaningful - and manageable - categories by automatically clustering terms that tend to occur together in responses. With a few keystrokes, you can change categorization parameters and rerun the automatic categorizer. And, you can easily refine these automatic categories by adding and deleting terms. Even build custom categories of your own by combining categories using Boolean logic. Simply use AND, OR and NOT to expand or contract categories to your specifications.
TextSmart eliminates the high costs involved in sending responses to outside coding firms. What would take a coding staff days takes just a few hours with TextSmart
- in the process saving you and your organization time, money and effort.
Export coded responses easily with SPSS software
Once you're satisfied with your categories, you can easily select the ones you want to export. Quickly match and merge your TextSmart results with the corresponding SPSS
data file or export results in a tab-delimited format. You can even export excluded terms and newly created aliases for use in future TextSmart sessions. In four simple steps, TextSmart
enables you to discover more about your respondents than ever before.
