"I discovered CATMA almost by chance, not long after I heard for the first time about the Digital Humanities. For a while, struggling with some complicated poetic and narratological problems in my corpus, I tried to get help from programmers and computational linguists. Those discussions were always very interesting and thought-provoking, but they never gave me exactly what I needed as a literary scholar. Then CATMA entered the picture and changed it radically we myself and the tool spoke the same conceptual language. The reason for this was that CATMA proved to be more than just a tool it was a paradigm, one that combined, in the most accessible but fundamental way, the systematic analytical power of the computer, with the free, creative and open-ended interpretative thinking of the human being."
