Upload and prepare your responses

Import Excel files containing your open-ended survey data. The system validates the structure and prepares your dataset for analysis — empty cells are skipped and never charged.

Generate an AI-assisted coding structure

Advanced AI models help generate a hierarchical 3-level category structure and classify responses with confidence scores — no manual coding required to get started.

Review, visualize, and export results

Inspect and adjust classifications, explore visual breakdowns of your data, then export a comprehensive report in Excel or JSON format ready to share with stakeholders.

How It Works: 3-Level Category Structure

Open-End Response Analyser automatically creates a hierarchical coding structure from your survey responses, organizing themes from broad concepts (L1) to specific details (L3).

Sample Survey Responses
Response #1:

"The website is too slow and the checkout process is confusing. Also, customer support never responds to emails."

Response #2:

"I love the product quality but delivery took forever. The packaging was damaged when it arrived."

Response #3:

"Great customer service team! They helped me resolve my issue quickly. The return policy is also very fair."

Who uses Open-End Response Analyser

Built for anyone who needs to make sense of open-ended qualitative data at scale.

Academic Research

Students and academic researchers use Open-End Response Analyser to analyze interview transcripts and survey responses for theses, dissertations, and published studies — with an academic credit bonus included.

Market Research

Market researchers and insights agencies use Open-End Response Analyser to code and categorize verbatim responses from large consumer surveys, turning raw feedback into structured deliverables faster.

Customer Feedback

Product and CX teams analyze NPS verbatims, satisfaction survey comments, and support feedback to identify patterns and prioritize improvements based on what customers actually say.

UX Research

UX researchers code open-ended usability feedback, post-test questionnaire responses, and diary study entries — surfacing recurring themes without spending days in a spreadsheet.

Employee Surveys

HR and people teams analyze open-ended engagement survey responses, exit interview data, and pulse survey comments to understand workforce sentiment and identify actionable themes.

Security & Privacy

What happens to your data when you use Open-End Response Analyser.

Uploaded responses

Your Excel files are uploaded over an encrypted HTTPS connection and stored securely in the database associated with your account. Files are used solely for the analysis you initiate.

AI processing

To generate categories and classify responses, text content is sent to third-party AI providers as part of the analysis pipeline. By using Open-End Response Analyser, you acknowledge this processing step. Do not upload personally identifiable or sensitive data without appropriate anonymization.

Data retention

Your projects, responses, and results are retained in your account for as long as the account is active. You can delete individual projects at any time from your dashboard.

Authentication & access

Access to your data requires account authentication. Projects and analysis results are private to your account and are not shared with or visible to other users.

Payments

All payments are processed through Stripe. Open-End Response Analyser never stores your card details. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe's secure infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Open-End Response Analyser.

Open-End Response Analyser is an AI-assisted qualitative coding tool for open-ended survey responses. You upload an Excel file containing text responses, and the system automatically generates a hierarchical coding structure (L1–L2–L3 categories), classifies each response into that structure, and lets you review, adjust, and export the results. It is designed to replace or accelerate the manual coding process that researchers and analysts typically perform in spreadsheets.

Open-End Response Analyser accepts Excel files (.xlsx). Your file should have one column containing the open-ended text responses. The system validates the structure automatically and will flag any issues before the analysis begins. Empty cells are detected and skipped — you are only charged for valid text responses.

1 credit equals 1 valid text response. When you run an analysis, credits are deducted based on the number of non-empty responses in your dataset. Empty cells are always free. Credits do not expire and remain in your account until used. You buy credit packs on a pay-as-you-go basis — there are no subscriptions.

Yes. After the AI generates the coding structure, you can review the category hierarchy before the classification step begins. You can rename categories, adjust the structure, and then proceed. After classification, you can also review individual response assignments and flag items that need attention.

Results can be exported as an Excel file (.xlsx) suitable for further analysis in spreadsheet tools, or as a JSON file for programmatic use. Both export formats include the full category structure, each response, its assigned categories at all three levels, and the confidence score for each classification.

Text content from your responses is sent to third-party AI providers as part of the analysis pipeline. If your dataset contains personally identifiable information or sensitive content subject to confidentiality requirements, you should anonymize the data before uploading. Open-End Response Analyser is not currently certified for use with clinical, legally privileged, or regulated personal data categories.
