Consistent classification

Four labels that are easy to filter and report.

Mixed feedback stays visible instead of being forced into a positive or negative bucket, while blank response cells remain blank.

Positive

Clearly favorable, satisfied, appreciative, or complimentary feedback.

Neutral

Factual or unclear feedback without meaningful positive or negative sentiment.

Negative

Dissatisfied, frustrated, critical, or clearly unfavorable feedback.

Mixed

A response that contains meaningful positive and negative sentiment together.

Built for responsible handling

Your file is temporary. Your feedback stays private.

Private storage

Uploads and finished files remain in a private, encrypted S3 bucket.

Privacy-first deletion

Your original file is deleted after processing. The analyzed result expires after seven days.

Minimal logging

Survey comments and email addresses are not written to application logs.

Common questions

Open-ended survey analysis FAQs

What to know before uploading an Excel or CSV file for sentiment classification.

What file types can I upload?

The analyzer accepts standard XLSX workbooks and CSV files up to 10 MB and 1,000 data rows. XLS, XLSM, Google Sheets links, and password-protected workbooks are not supported.

Where does the sentiment column appear?

The tool adds a new Sentiment column immediately after the last existing column. For XLSX files, it updates only the worksheet you select and leaves the other worksheets in place.

Which sentiment labels does the tool use?

Each non-empty response is classified as Positive, Neutral, Negative, or Mixed. Empty cells remain empty in the finished file.

How long are uploaded survey files stored?

Your original upload and temporary processing files are deleted as soon as the analysis finishes or fails. Only the analyzed result and a minimal status record remain available for seven days, after which they are automatically deleted. The delivery email address is removed immediately after processing.

Can I use the analyzer for protected health information?

Do not upload protected health information or other regulated sensitive data to this free public tool. Remove names, email addresses, account numbers, and other identifying details before uploading.
