ALCESTE text analysis software

[Michael Gizzi]

Greetings,

Does anyone on the list have any experience with the ALCESTE text analysis
software? It was featured in a recent American Political Science Association
PS: Political Science and Politics article, and it looks very interesting.
It does automated content analysis.

The software was developed in France, but the website it is found on (
http://www.image.cict.fr/english/index.htm ) does not have a functional
contact link, and I can't figure out how to get access to the software.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.


Best,

Michael Gizzi

I don't have experience with Alceste. I did find this brief blurb on the
site at http://www.image.cict.fr/english/index_alceste.htm

BTW, a friend at Arizona State, Kevin Dooley, has developed a commercial
text analysis package that may provide similar functionality

Steve,

I will check out your friend's software package. I have also gone through
the image website, but unfortunately their contact link doesn't work.
