The summary section on Voyant is a useful tool that will display all of your corpus and files. It divides itself into six starting sections within the summary to show you an overarching, large-scale analysis of your data.
The first section within the summary you’ll see is a statement regarding what your data is made up of. It will say how many documents are in your corpus, the length of those documents, first in total number of words, and second in total number of unique word forms. Finally, it will also give you a timestamp of when the corpus was created within Voyant. Once you’ve read the opening statement, you can dig into the data that the summary tool is giving you.
First, within the tool, is the document length tab. It lists the longest document in a rank list with the number of words associated with the data alongside the title, and follows with a ranking of the shortest documents with the words associated with the data alongside the title as well. So it will begin with the document length, then it moves to vocabulary density. Vocabulary density is listed similarly, ranked from highest density to lowest density.
