We Measure Emotions So You Can Win
Canvs reads, interprets, and categorizes Emotional Reactions (ERs) in dialogue. Our patented technology understands how people feel, why they feel that way, and the business impact it creates. We’ve spent the better part of a decade fine tuning an accurate, automated emotional signal so you can take the guesswork out of understanding how your audience feels.
“Canvs provides an early, trusted read on how audiences are feeling about just-announced TV series ahead of receiving survey or focus group research.”

Even If It's Not in Webster's
As linguistic anthropologists, we are fascinated by the diverse and ever-changing ways in which people express their emotions in words. Especially the elusive Gen Z and Millennial audiences who spend so much time in social and online conversation. Our quest to understand them drove us to develop our one-of-a-kind unnatural language processing engine, which recognizes over 100 million words and expressions, including slang, acronyms, misspellings, and subtle nuances such as sarcasm and “shade.” In fact, 65% of the emotions we track aren’t even in the dictionary.
Where other people and platforms just see nonsense and contradictions, Canvs hears audiences telling you exactly what they think and feel about your products and services.
