Word Clouds for Analysis in Snap 11 Survey Software

Use Word Clouds to analyze data using Snap 11 Survey Software

To analyze literal response questions, or general comment questions, we have added a fun new analysis feature called Word Clouds.

How do Word Clouds work? Word Clouds takes comments from a survey question and turn it into a single word response. The more often a word appears in the results of a particular comment question, the larger the word appears in a Word Cloud. You can see in the example below that the literal response of “children” is the response most often occurred to this comment question. word-clouds-survey-software

As you can see, Snap 11 Survey Software automatically removes any joining words such as and, to, with, or, etc. When you create a word Cloud, Snap Survey Software automatically creates an Auto Category Variable for each particular question and performs Auto Coding of each response.

View Word Clouds in action in the Snap 11 Survey Software preview webinar, now available to watch at your leisure.  To view available analysis features in Snap 11 Survey Software, including how to set-up Word Clouds, click on “Analysis” in the upper left-hand menu. The example of Word Clouds begins at 11:34.
