- Voyant Tools is an open-source, web-based application for text analysis, supporting scholarly reading and interpretation.
- Developed by Stéfan Sinclair and Geoffrey Rockwell, it originated from earlier tools like HyperPo and Taporware.
- The tool is widely used in digital humanities, literature, language teaching, healthcare, and system architecture.
- Voyant Tools features panels for analytical tasks like word frequency lists and KWIC displays, embeddable in external web texts.
- International projects, including Huma-Num and DARIAH-DE, run Voyant on their own servers.
- The book 'Hermeneutica: Computer-Assisted Interpretation in the Humanities' demonstrates text analysis approaches using Voyant.
