Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What syntactic complexity metrics does this tool calculate?

The tool calculates average sentence length, average clauses per sentence, T-unit length, clauses per T-unit, and sentence complexity ratios based on established linguistic research.

What file formats are supported for upload?

Currently, only plain text files (.txt) are supported. The tool extracts and analyzes text content from uploaded files.

Is my text data stored or sent to a server?

No, all text processing and analysis happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy.
