Text Analysis Shiny App Package

The Text Analyzer Shiny App is an interactive tool for analyzing and visualizing text data. It allows users to perform various text analysis tasks, including sentiment analysis, word frequency analysis, and topic modelling. This README provides an overview of the app's features, how to use it, and how to get started.

This app focuses on making life easier for researchers looking to explore insights in their text analysis. Equipped to perform descriptive analysis, sentiment, emotion, topic modelling (LDA and seededLDA), it provides an excellent starting point for researchers and the general public with minimal or some programming experience.

Features
