Text is more than just a collection of words. Text tells a story, brings to life ideas, concepts and helps define relationships. Leximancer automatically analyses your text documents to identify the high level concepts in your text documents, delivering the key ideas and actionable insights you need with powerful interactive visualisations and data exports.

Leximancer Pty Ltd has been providing leading-edge text analytics technology for twenty years.

The technology was created following 7 years of research and development at the University of Queensland by Dr Andrew Smith.  Andrew's physics and cognitive science background, in conjunction with his working IT application experience, enabled him to envisage and develop an innovative solution to the growing need to readily determine meaning from unstructured, qualitative, textual data.

Leximancer is supported by a team with a distinguished academic and industry pedigree.

Dr Andrew Smith

Andrew had the vision and nous to invent Leximancer, his early research training was in Physics, earning a PhD from The University of Queensland, Australia in 1993. From 1993 to 2000, Andrew worked in IT, mostly in positions with close customer contact. That experience provided the insight needed to design useful technology for the consumer. In 2000 he pursued a Master's degree in information science to develop a robust computational system for quantifying and visualizing conceptual information in large text collections. Andrew continues to develop new ways for Leximancer software to meet clients' needs as the founder and Chief Scientist at Leximancer. His latest creation is Cassandra.
