Analysis

I Write Like

I Write Like is a free, web-based text analysis tool that compares a user-provided text to the prose of well-known writers using statistics, word choice and writing style analysis. It then reports on which writer the text most resembles. The tool requires at least two paragraphs of text for best results. At this time, the results are limited to the name of a writer, without offering more detailed insight into the analysis; the tool appears to be offered primarily to promote the Memoires journaling software.

Analysis

Collocation - Plain Text (TAPoRware)

This tool provides all words directly before and after a user-specified word, based on the desired context of words, lines, sentences or paragraphs. The results can be sorted alphabetically, by frequency, or by Z-score (an indication of how far and in what direction that item deviates from its distribution's mean, expressed in units of its distribution's standard deviation). HTML and XML versions are also available within the TAPoRware toolsets. This tool’s functionality has been incorporated into Voyant available online at www.voyant-tools.org.
