In this study, we analyzed the discourse in a science fiction prototyping (SF prototyping) workshop. SF prototyping is a workshop method to create a vision of the future by using the process of creating science fiction to elicit participants' discourse. Although it is necessary to analyze the discussion process to make it an effective method for eliciting speech, there is little previous research on this topic. To solve this problem, we developed a web application as a tool to record the speech process in chronological order, acquired data, and analyzed them. As a result, we found that it is easier to write the final output when the discussion proceeds according to the procedure. We also found that the greater the number of ideas created in a unit of time, the greater the number of plots. Based on the results of the analysis, we present recommendations for improving the method in the future.
