There is a very steep learning curve when it comes to using Gale, and that is mostly due to how many different steps there are to the text analysis process. Even more so, the algorithms used to analyze the text tend to be a bit strange. I ended up with a lot of odd results, and I couldn’t tell if it was the less than reliable OCR or the clean up settings not being what I expected. Most times I ended up with no text to analyze. I don’t know how comfortable I am teaching this program to someone else, because I can’t tell what causes certain things to happen, and there is little to no visual feedback from Gale to tell me as much.
