HLasse/TextDescriptives
A Python library for calculating a large variety of metrics from text
TextDescriptives helps you quickly understand the key characteristics of any text. You input a piece of writing, and it outputs a wide range of metrics like readability scores, word length, and sentence complexity. This tool is ideal for content creators, researchers, educators, or anyone needing to analyze and compare text objectively.
361 stars. Used by 1 other package. Available on PyPI.
Use this if you need to systematically measure and compare aspects of text like how easy it is to read, its structural properties, or semantic coherence.
Not ideal if you're looking for sentiment analysis, topic modeling, or other advanced natural language processing tasks beyond descriptive statistics.
