Struggles:

Voyant is nowhere near simple, at least for me. I would not say Voyant is perfect and that may be contradicting to many people but I still believe there are many positives to Voyant. Unfortunately for people just getting started in being a DH scholar this site may have you lost, frustrated, and confused. I had trouble at first trying the most frequently used words part of the site but was able to understand it and definitely want to use that to my own advantage in the future. What you realize through the frequent words part is where biases can be found and all types of biases. This is a helpful part when going back to the first section of annotations for the week. It explains how so many sites can be based off statistics and sites need to be based on context and operating n the level of literary forms and conventions. 

These were my most frequent words and you can already see gender bias with the most common word being mr. But there is so much more questions you can answer than just about biases. You can find the most common phrases, topics, and trends and so much more. This can truly improve a DH scholar in their work to becoming an even better person on the internet. While it can be so helpful this site does have flaws. It might find biases but it does not determine hate which could lead to misleading data. As well it is extremely difficult to understand the purpose of the site if you do not partake in this class.
