Text analytics in action

We apply text analytics to user reviews to see who is winning the console wars

There is so much information out there about brand, products and people. Ratings and review sites, social media and customer feedback channels have masses of data that can give you important access to the voice of the customer.

Most of this incredible insight is unstructured and this is where we help. We make sense of huge amounts of free form text by categorising it into coherent topics and extracting sentiment from it. Text analytics can help you understand what your customers care about, what they feel about your products and how they engage with them. It can help evaluate how products compare and their relative strengths and weaknesses.

Further,our text analytics identifies the drivers of satisfaction, improves customer retention and increases profitability.

In this new report, we analyse thousands of user reviews on the PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch to demonstrate how we undertake text analytics.
