The Yoshikoder is a cross-platform multilingual content
analysis program developed by Will Lowe
as part of the Identity
Project at Harvard's
Weatherhead Center for
International Affairs.
You can load documents, construct and apply content analysis
dictionaries, examine keywords-in-context, and perform basic
content analyses, in any language. Here's a screenshot.
The Yoshikoder works with text documents, whether in plain
ASCII, Unicode (e.g.
UTF-8), or national encodings (e.g. Big5 Chinese.) You can
construct, view, and save keywords-in-context. You can write
content analysis dictionaries. Yoshikoder provides summaries of
documents, either as word frequency tables or according to a
content analysis dictionary. You can also apply a dictionary
analysis to the results of a concordance, which provides a
flexible way to study local word contexts. Yoshikoder's native
file format is XML, so dictionaries and keyword-in-context
files are non-proprietary and human readable.
Please contact Will Lowe at conjugateprior [at] gmail.com if you'd
like to contribute to the project.
