This tool helps researchers and analysts quantify how strongly specific concepts are expressed in text documents. You provide a list of keywords defining a concept (like "populism" or "economic anxiety"), and it calculates a score for each document indicating its similarity to that concept. This is useful for social scientists, political analysts, or market researchers who need to measure abstract ideas across large volumes of text like social media posts, news articles, or survey responses.

Use this if you need to measure the presence and intensity of specific theoretical concepts within a collection of texts using a dictionary-based approach.

Not ideal if you need to perform basic keyword counting or sentiment analysis, or if you prefer not to work within the R statistical programming environment.
