Hi folks,
I thought that some of you may be interested in hearing about our new
iPhone app, Textal, which is now up for download for free in the app store!
Textal is a free smartphone app for iOS that allows users to analyze
documents, web pages and tweet streams, exploring the relationships between
words in the text via an intuitive word cloud interface. The app generates
visualizations and statics that can be shared without effort, which makes
it a fun and useful tool for both research and play, bridging the gap
between text analysis and mobile computing.
What does it do? For an example, see a twitter search on the #musetech
hashtag visualised: http://www.textal.org/gallery/bf5754a67330 - although
you have to look at it in the app for the full functionality to see the
stats of the underlying words.
You can read more at www.textal.org, and download Textal for free at
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textal/id646764497. We're also on twitter,
at @textal.
Textal was made by UCL Centre for Digital Humanities and the Bartlett
Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis . We're gradually telling the world
about it now - it would be really great if those of you with iPads or
iPhones could try it out, and we look forward to your feedback.
best,
Melissa
