Ive been using AntConc to do some analysis of debates in knowledge, power, learning, user access with 30 sources, a few are books. Using an app like this really provokes a lot of good thinking about the different ways of analysing text, and what the outputs look like. Maybe students should use this to compare with the basic in/out actions of consumer orientated chatbot summaries.

Ive been digging around for text analysis OS apps and found AntConc via a Reddit thread. This app is very good from what I can see in early quick testing. Im looking at term frequency across relevant papers, and some 'concordance' context but AntConc will do a lot more. Together with Taguette you have all you need for a lot of analysis.

Im running portable on Windows but Mac and Linux also work.

Finally! With the recently released #AntConc 4.3.0, it runs on a recent Ubuntu machine again. No more falling back to the Wine version! /cc @umblaetterer
