Software

the test version 1.35 of TextQuest - text analysis software - is now
ready for download from http://www.textquest.de/tqe.htm. The only
limitations the test version has is that you cannot print and you are
restricted to analyse 100 text units only. There are some sample files,
and also the help system contains the important parts of the manual.

TextQuest produces word lists or word sequences (e.g. United States of
America, European Union, United Arab Emirates etc.) that contain the
frequencies of these strings. Or concordances in KWIC (key word in
context) format with variable line length. The readability module
computes 30 formulas (e.g. Flesch, Fry, Gunning, Lix, WSTF) for English,
German, and Spanish texts and can also give you hints which sentences
and/or words are too long.
The content analysis module works with dictionaries of your own, has
strong validation features like rapport files for ambgiguous or negated
search patterns, interactive coding, and produces data matrices ready
for statistical analysis.

For further questions, just e-mail me; I will be glad to help you.

Kind regards
