• Anyone who has used a text-analysis tool like TACT has at some point been frustrated by its limitations and wished that a feature or two could be added. In 1992 we set out to imagine a text-analysis environment which would not only have the features we desired, but could be extended continually as our research evolved. This paper describes the limitations of current tools, possible solutions to these limitations, and the design philosophy behind Eye-ConTact, a prototype of a visual programming environment suited for text manipulation.
