# Free-form Survey Response Analysis

> Effortless insights from free-form survey responses

## What is free-form survey response analysis?

Free-form survey response analysis turns open-ended written answers into themes and numbers. Analysts traditionally code each response by hand; AI topic detection does the reading, labeling and summarization for you and shows how common each theme is.

## Let Dcipher Analytics do the reading, labeling, and summarization for you

Dcipher Analytics’ free-form survey response analysis functionality uses AI-powered topic detection to identify themes
and topics within survey responses, providing both qualitative insights and quantitative metrics. This eliminates the
need for manual coding, even for multilingual surveys, and ensures a more nuanced understanding of the data than simple
visualizations like word clouds. Dcipher Analytics integrates seamlessly with major survey platforms, such as
SurveyMonkey, and supports importing structured datasets in formats like Excel, CSV, or JSON, enabling efficient and
detailed analysis of open-ended survey responses.
