Know the Text Analytics Use Cases in Businesses

Bineesh Mathew | March 31, 2022 | 381 views

“Text analytics can help organizations discover patterns in large unstructured data sets. Unstructured data, such as videos, photos, and audio accounts for at least 80% of your company’s data, a true blind spot for most businesses.”

- IBM

Data scientists use advanced data science approaches to examine text. This textual data provides a better understanding of client attitudes toward certain topics or uncovers additional information.

Using this text analytics, you can turn free-form text into structured data for use in prediction models or uncover hidden patterns in your data. If you want, you can use text analysis to identify prospective customers who might be interested in cross-selling, forecast customer attitudes, and understand fraud-prevention behaviors.

Businesses understand the value of their raw text across all industries. As a result, with the help of data, they can reduce operational expenses, find previously unknown linkages, and get a better insight into the future trends.

Is it hard to comprehend that text accounts for 80% of all corporate data?

Online reviews, call center transcripts, consumer surveys, and other written documents are examples. This raw text data is a gold mine for understanding customer attitudes. Text mining and analytics transform these underutilized data sources into actionable information. However, each organization must have the expertise, infrastructure, and analytical perspective to implement this cutting-edge technology in their own way.


How is Text Analytics Used in Companies?

Companies can use NLP and untapped data sources in a number of ground-breaking ways.

Many businesses are already successfully employing text to drive their operations. In addition, text analytics can help you improve your procedures if you're transitioning from business intelligence reporting to data science.


Best Five Text Analytics Use Cases for Businesses

Companies and people, regardless of industry, desire to make better-informed business decisions based on trackable and measurable data. Thanks to improvements in text analysis, companies can now mine the text for insights and improve their service or offering to thrive in their industry.

Read on to understand some of the text analytics use cases that could be applied in your company.


Voice of the Customer (VOC) to Extract Customer Opinion on a product


Companies employ VOC applications to determine what customers say about a product or service.

Emails, call center logs, surveys, and social media streams such as blogs, tweets, forum postings, newsfeeds, and so on are examples of data sources. A telecommunications company, for example, might use voice of customer text analysis to look for complaints about their online services on Twitter.

It will give them an early warning when customers aren’t happy with the service's performance, so that they can act before the client calls to complain or publicly ask for the contract to be terminated.


Lead Generation through Social Media

A piece of social media information can be used to retain and get new clients. It is like the use of the VOC application.

For example, if a person tweets that they are interested in a particular product or service, text analytics can detect this and pass the information to a sales representative, who can then pursue the prospect and turn them into a customer.


Finding Out What Customers Value through Market Research

According to numerous statistics, consumers are interested in other people's thoughts and experiences. According to a study, at least 90% of humans are influenced by what they read.

Also, if the review is terrible, the sentiment is shared. In the last few years, several websites have been collecting reviews of local eateries, vacation spots, and, of course, commercial products.

If your company is thinking about going into a new market or looking into new product ideas, why not start by looking into online market research reviews from real people?

Market research helps you know what features are important to customers when you start your marketing effort. It's critical to know which characteristics influence purchasing decisions and contribute to customer unhappiness.


Use Customer Complaints to Identify New Product Ideals

Understanding the consumer experience is critical, and internet reviews offer a dependable means to do it. Of course, when a consumer encounters problems, no one expects them to be happy, but it can be positive if the support is speedy and helpful.

Social media handles could be effectively used to understand the feedback and complaints of customers. Responding to them promptly makes the customers feel good. It also, gives an idea of the expectations of the customers and the new product ideals.


Analyzing the Customer Sentiments

Whether you're selling a handbag or consumer software on the App Store, text analytics may help you categorize reviews quickly. Unfortunately, a spreadsheet and hours of reading and categorizing reviews are generally required for the manual option. Aside from the discomfort of working long hours, we frequently find irregularities due to the physical nature of this labor. So why not create a data categorization and scoring model that you can use to rerun the data daily, weekly, or monthly?


Summing Up

Companies now have many options to perform text analysis thanks to the rise and availability of unstructured text data. However, simply wanting to use text analytics and predictive analytics isn't enough. You need to first understand where you are as a company from an analytical point of view, and then you need to create a plan on how to embrace these new opportunities. Understanding where you are now can help you determine your next steps and protect you from taking on more than you can handle.


Frequently Asked Questions


How do companies use text analytics?

What can text analytics be used for?

Text analytics is used to gain deeper insights from unstructured text. For example, it can help you see a pattern or trend.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Businesses

Article | August 18, 2022

Whilst there are many people that associate AI with sci-fi novels and films, its reputation as an antagonist to fictional dystopic worlds is now becoming a thing of the past, as the technology becomes more and more integrated into our everyday lives.AI technologies have become increasingly more present in our daily lives, not just with Alexa’s in the home, but also throughout businesses everywhere, disrupting a variety of different industries with often tremendous results. The technology has helped to streamline even the most mundane of tasks whilst having a breath-taking impact on a company’s efficiency and productivity.However, AI has not only transformed administrative processes and freed up more time for companies, it has also contributed to some ground-breaking moments in business, being a must-have for many in order to keep up with the competition.

AI and Predictive Analytics: Myth, Math, or Magic

Article | October 27, 2020

We are a species invested in predicting the future as if our lives depended on it. Indeed, good predictions of where wolves might lurk were once a matter of survival. Even as civilization made us physically safer, prediction has remained a mainstay of culture, from the haruspices of ancient Rome inspecting animal entrails to business analysts dissecting a wealth of transactions to foretell future sales. With these caveats in mind, I predict that in 2020 (and the decade ahead) we will struggle if we unquestioningly adopt artificial intelligence (AI) in predictive analytics, founded on an unjustified overconfidence in the almost mythical power of AI's mathematical foundations. This is another form of the disease of technochauvinism I discussed in a previous article.

Predictive analytics vs AI Why the difference matters

Article | February 10, 2020

There are few movie scenes I can recall from my childhood, but I vividly remember seeing the 1968 Stanley Kubrick sci-fi movie 2001 A Space Odyssey in 1970 with my older cousin. What stays with me to this day is the scene where astronaut Dave asks HAL, the homicidal computer based on artificial intelligence (AI), to open the pod bay doors. HAL's eerie reply: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.In that moment, the concept of man vs. machine was created, predicated on the idea that machines created by man and using AI could (eventually) defy orders, position themselves in the vanguard, and overthrow humankind. Fast forward to today. Within the information governance space, there are two terms that have been used quite frequently in recent years analytics and AI. Often they are used interchangeably and are practically synonymous.
