What are the benefits of using Assisted Annotation? 

Assisted annotation can save you a significant amount of time and effort compared to manual annotation by suggesting annotations that are relevant to your task. Additionally, it can help you to identify patterns and insights that you may not have noticed on your own. You will also be able to skip irrelevant or known text segments, so your work will also be less repetitive.

what is assisted annotation & how does it work?

Assisted annotation uses advanced AI technology to analyze the content, context and underlying meaning of you annotated text and suggest annotations based on that analysis. The tool takes into account things like the meaning of words, their relationships to other words, and the overall structure of the text. By suggesting annotations, assisted annotation can save you time and effort compared to manual annotation. We also offer you a custom view to check the suggested annotations more efficiently.

Is Assisted Annotation available for everyone?

How does textada use AI technology?

textada uses AI technology to automate the annotation process. We do this to suggest annotations that match the previous manual annotation behavior. Our AI is constantly learning from the user’s annotations and checked suggested annotations in the background, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the tool. 

Can I still add my own annotations? 

Yes, you can always add your own annotations. In fact, we believe that the combination of AI-suggested annotations and user-added annotations is what makes textada so powerful. The tool is designed to work alongside your existing annotation processes and can be used to supplement your manual annotation. Thus, textada always allows you to easily add, edit, and delete annotations as needed. It will also always be clear which annotations have been added by the AI and which ones you made or reviewed.
