Example of text statistics measured by Readability-Score.com
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
This is a proposal for a new feature providing text statistics in LibreOffice
Writer. Currently, the Word Count tool measures only the number of words and
characters. The new feature would expand the variety of statistics that Writer
calculates.
Specifically, I suggest the community consider developing and incorporating
what I will refer to as Wopse and Tekstat.
WOPSE:
The name stands for "words-per-sentence" count, a tool measuring the average
sentence length in a given text. Authors could use this tool to write more
effectively by keeping their sentences shorter (e.g., at 20 words or less).
Wopse represents the minimal enhancement to the current Word Count tools.
Ideally, the community would develop Tekstat, which includes Wopse, too.
TEKSTAT:
Teksat (short for "text statistics") is an expanded tool that would provide the
following statistics:
-- Character count;
-- Syllable count;
-- Word count;
-- Sentence count;
-- Paragraph count;
-- Characters per word;
-- Syllables per word;
-- Words per sentence; and
-- Sentences per paragraph.
USEFUL REFERENCES:
Readability-Score.com -- A text statistics service is available at
https://readability-score.com/. The website provides all the measurements that
I have listed above as part of the Tekstat tool, except for paragraph count and
sentences per paragraph. Other readability statistics are also available on
the website.
Text Statistics Project -- Readability-Score.com is based on an open-source
project called Text Statistics. The code is available here:
