How Text Statistics Works
A Text Statistics tool is a deep-dive linguistic analyzer that goes beyond simple word counting. It checks the "Health" of your writing. This tool is essential for editors, content marketers, and copywriters polishing articles for clarity, adjusting tone for specific audiences, and analyzing competitor content.
The Analysis Pipeline
- Syllable Counter: It breaks every word into phonetic syllables to calculate complexity, following principles used in the Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.
- Sentence Logic: It identifies run-on sentences and suggests where to break them up, improving compliance with WCAG 2.1 Reading Level guidelines.
- Frequency Map: It builds a histogram of your vocabulary to highlight overused phrases, a technique rooted in Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) analysis from information retrieval.
