The Text Profile utility

displays a profile of the distributions of word and sentence lengths for a given text file. This shows mean word and sentence lengths, with dispersion statistics and a histogram for each distribution. It supplements the information available from Wordlist, and may be helpful in stylistic analysis.

  • If the text to be read is in a language other than English, use the pull-down menu to apply the correct lexicographic conventions.
  • The graphic images generated are easily saved for inclusion in other documents.
