Create and reorganize codes on the fly. Word counts, automatic keyword discovery, and comment clusters assist with micro-analysis. Symphony's interface works with you, allowing you to remain focused on the art of analysis.
3. Analyze Coding Structure

4. Produce Reports
Generate reports to Microsoft Word 2000 or later. Symphony uses the document styles from your Word template or any Word document to produce custom reports that conform to your branding, document structure, and style preferences. The coding structure can be used to drive the table of contents. Advanced filtering enables you to specify virtually any cross-section of content from your project to be included in a report.
