Most large organizations struggle to understand and use their open-ended comments. Hundreds or even thousands of comments can be difficult to wade through, analyze, and act on.
OrgVitality has solved this problem with a supervised machine-learning system that classifies, identifies, and predicts the most useful or actionable survey comments – within seconds.
OV VOICE, or, the Value-Optimized Intelligent Comment Extractor works on high-volume datasets with text in any language. Each comment is assigned a score, or Usefulness Quotient (UQ) of 0-100. The higher the score, the more useful or actionable the comment is likely to be. The comments and their respective UQ are fed into user-friendly, interactive reports that allow comparison by topic, opinion, and employee segments. Survey users can identify the most important comments for different groups of stakeholders to read, and which to prioritize based on usefulness.
