Textanz – Rigorous Tool for Quantitative-qualitative Analysis of Texts

Need to check the document for excessive use or repetition of some words and phrases ? Build a context dictionary of all words in text ? Estimate the readability ? Just install Textanz and these tasks will pose no problem for you !

If you are involved into analysis of texts, which requires an objective approach independent of human impressions, Textanz is what you actually need. With the help of best known string processing algorithms, this tool quickly calculates the frequency of all words and phrases used in your text. Results are being reported in a handy table you can sort by phrase length, frequency, alphabet and whatever else you want.

Other program options include the ability to calculate the number of word forms for any word “root” with a specified user-determined length. This method allows you to calculate the sum frequency of all derivatives.

Yet another function of Textanz is building a concordance – list of all words used in a body of text, with their immediate contexts. Context length is configurable according to you needs.

The results can be exported to a CSV file (comma separated values), one of the standard formats of Microsoft Excel.

Finally, this tool provides you with the overall statistics : total numbers of words, sentences, paragraphs, readability and more.

Textanz allows you to make very helpful conclusions. For example, you would quickly figure out abnormalities ingrained in your text, such as too frequent use of an arbitrary expression, or, to contrary, too rare use of important words or phrase.

Software developers, web masters, and writers who prepare content for the Internet will find Textanz a valuable tool to help them choose keywords and key word phrases for improved optimization of webpages within the search engines, or for searching for repeating fragments of program source code.

As a reader, you can use Textanz to help you examine an author’s most frequently used words and phrases and better understand his purpose and writing objectives. The dictionary created by a Textanz analysis enables you to form a stylistic portrait of the writer. In linguistics, this data is unique to authors in much the same way as handwriting is unique to an individual.
