Interpretable data visualizations for understanding how texts differ at the word level

64
/ 100
Established

This tool helps you understand how two different texts compare by showing which specific words contribute to their differences. It takes in two text documents and visualizes the most impactful words as a 'word shift graph,' making it easier to interpret variations in sentiment or topic. Researchers, data journalists, or anyone analyzing textual data can use this to quickly pinpoint why two texts are distinct.

287 stars. Available on PyPI.

Use this if you need a clear, visual explanation of the word-level differences between two pieces of text, especially for sentiment or topic analysis.

Not ideal if you're looking for a simple keyword extraction or topic modeling tool without a focus on direct comparison and interpretability.
