This workshop will show you how to analyze a body of text using Voyant. Voyant is a tool that can create different visualizations of your text, including but not limited to word clouds and word frequency line graphs. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to understand how to analyze text using visualizations, as well as how to share those visualizations as a URL or HTML-embedded element. This workshop is open to all, and particularly useful for digital humanities research.
