UX Research Tools for analyzing and visualizing your user research
UX Research and tools go hand in hand. Don’t we all want tools to make our daily work and life a little easier? While there are plenty of tools that would work for both work and daily life, I’d like to focus on UX research tools specifically for user researchers.
UX Research Tools for your user research
It is extremely important and interesting to know what happens to your users when they interact with your product, website, application, or tool. Testing that user experience includes everything the users see, hear, and do as well as their emotional reactions.
Planning and conducting user experience tests can be time-consuming. With these UX research tools you can take your user research to a higher level and save valuable time!

FaceReader Online: Facial expression and emotion analysis
Capturing emotions by analyzing facial expressions offers additional and objective insights into the impact, appreciation, liking (and disliking) of websites and apps, commercials, movie trailers, and so on. FaceReader Online is an independent, online tool for facial expressions and emotion analysis. It delivers you direct insight into user responses – such as joy, anger, or arousal.
You can incorporate FaceReader Online in your UX and market research to get more insights into user experience. As it runs on a cloud server you do not need any on-site installation, enabling user testing while participants stay at home.
