WordStat

What WordStat is

WordStat is text-mining and quantitative content analysis software for examining large document collections. It can extract frequent words and phrases, identify salient topics, and explore themes through clustering, multidimensional scaling, proximity plots, and link analysis. Explorer mode surfaces words, phrases, and topics in one click. Users can categorize text with dictionaries and rules or create automatic document classifiers using Naïve Bayes and K-Nearest Neighbours. The maker lists applications including open-ended response analysis, business intelligence, news coverage analysis, and fraud detection. WordStat imports documents and data from office files, PDFs, statistical and qualitative analysis tools, survey services, email, and social media. It can export results and graphs to spreadsheet, document, markup, and image formats, and integrates with SimStat, QDA Miner, and Stata. Python scripts can preprocess text; version 2026.1 supports Ollama, LM Studio, and custom URLs for private organization servers. WordStat is a Windows application and can also run on macOS or Linux through Wine-based methods. Its fully functional 14-day trial later limits analysis and disables most saving, export, and printing functions.
