Homer – A Text-Analyzer in Python

Hacker News

Homer is a Python package that can help make your text more clear, simple and useful for the reader. It provides information on an overall text as well as on individual paragraphs. It gives insights into readability, length of paragraphs, length of sentences, average sentences per paragraph, average words in a sentence, etc. It is based on work by Pinker and anohter research study [1, 2]. This software package grew out of a personal need. Since I am not a native English speaker but am interested in writing. I write OpEds and a blog. So I designed and have been using Homer to improve my writing. I hope others will find it useful. Please note that this is not a strict guide to control your writing. At least, I don't use it that way. I use it as a guide to make my writing as simple as possible. I strive to write concise paragraphs and sentences as well as use fewer unclear words, and Homer has been helping me. I have only used it to analyze my blogs and essays and not the large corpus of text. As this software is new, you may well spot bugs, in which case please feel free to open up issues/pull-requests. You can use Homer as a stand-alone package or on the command line.
