What’s New in SPSS Text Analysis for Surveys 2.0?
SPSS Inc. developed SPSS Text Analysis for Surveys so you could unlock the value contained in responses to open-ended survey questions. We regularly enhance this product, taking into account customer suggestions, to make categorizing text responses even easier and more reliable. With the new features and enhancements available in SPSS Text Analysis for Surveys 2.0, you can:
- Work with others by sharing project files across your organization. You can now store project files on your hard drive. The project file includes extracted results, categories, and linguistic resources, such as user-customized libraries.
- Share categories by importing and exporting them as XML files. This enables other users to easily reuse category work in new projects that have no defined categories.
- Categorize responses based on more complex information or filter erroneous responses by creating conditional rules for categories using extraction results and Boolean operators. If your organization has pre-existing categories, you can now recreate their rules with precision and automate them rather than administering them manually.
Create logical expressions using extraction results and Boolean operators. You can add these rules to a category to capture responses based on more complex information or to filter erroneous responses.

- Profile categories by overlaying reference variables onto bar charts. The screenshot below shows a category bar chart displaying results by gender.
This category bar chart shows the gender of respondents in the “capacity” category for the question “What do you like least about this portable music player?” By simply clicking on a bar, you can see the distribution of respondents by a selected reference variable.

- Better capture main concepts in text responses by using improved automated concept extraction
- Gain more power for your automated classification techniques thanks to new features and settings
- If you’re an advanced user, better refine concept extraction when using the Dictionary Editor
- Monitor your progress by flagging responses. For example, mark responses as “complete” or “important.” This progress indicator is especially helpful if you have a long list of responses to review or if a supervisor needs to approve categorization. These “flags” can be exported.
Use flags to monitor your progress, and easily identify which responses you’ve reviewed or marked. Here, the checkered flag indicates a response that was coded correctly and completely. The red flag represents a response that was not categorized completely and requires follow-up. Flags appear next to each response, and your overall progress is indicated at the bottom of the screen.
