Occasionally I go to Project Gutenberg ( http://www.gutenberg.org ) for public
domain books that have been digitized and made available for downloading. I
thought it might be interesting to examine them using text analysis software
that would give me an idea of the difficulty level and frequency count of
words and phrases. I would also like to have the word count and frequency
results graphed or made available for export to Excel.
Is anyone familiar with a software package, freeware or otherwise, that can
handle this level of analysis and charting?
I did find the web site textalyser ( http://www.lexicool.com/text_analyzer.asp
) that has some of these capabilities but no way to specify varying phrase
lengths or export options for charting nor does it handle book size jobs.
