After working with Voyant for a little bit, I found that I prefer it over the Gale Scholar lab. I think the main reason is the interface is a lot more organized. Rather than putting the tools into multiple different pages, Voyant organizes as much as it can into one screen. While that doesn’t seem very intuitive, I feel Voyant can get away with this because it highlights the more important tools to the workflow such as the word visualizers and the summaries, while leaving less used tools or settings in tabs that the user would only access if they needed to. I also think the visualizations themselves are easier to understand since they default to formats that allow a user to process the information quickly. It’s like the difference between looking at a bar graph and looking at a table of data. In general, Voyant seems a lot more compact than Gale, which also means it doesn’t have as many tools as Gale and doesn’t processes as many file formats (I could be wrong, but I’m sure that Gale could process text from images. Maybe they were just pdfs). But I feel Voyant is also a little more accurate with the text it’s detecting.
