Hello fellow researchers!
I hope you had a nice summer and September is treating you well!
My friend Andrew Matte is developing an App called IntuitNote which uses natural language processing. It could be useful for processing data on natural speech or computer generated speech. It allows you to use 'Tags' to select salient sentences and look for similar content in the rest of your data.
If you think you might be interested in this kind of software, or know someone that might be, please shoot Andrew a DM. He is looking for feedback on this App.
