cb's Japanese Text Analysis Tool

cb's Japanese Text Analysis Tool is a straightforward and easy-to-use application that allows you analyze Japanese text and generate multiple types of word frequency and readability reports.

It can process individual files or entire folders and supports the TXT, HTML, ASS and SRT document formats. However, it should be noted that it can only save reports to the TXT file format and some users may find them difficult to interpret.

While the application allows you to load files individually, you can also select and entire folder and have the program scan it for supported document formats. You can even choose which types of files should be loaded and include or exclude subfolders.

You can specify the type of encoding the source files use, to ensure that they are processed correctly.

You can choose which operations the application should perform when processing files. It can generate word frequency, kanji frequency, formula-based readability and user-based readability reports.

Before analyzing files, the application can automatically remove any Aozora formatting and trim a certain number of lines from the beginning or end of a file.

The generated reports are saved to TXT files and placed in the selected target directory. However, it can be difficult to understand what the individual fields represent, as this information is only available in the window displayed upon the completion of an operation.

cb's Japanese Text Analysis Tool enables you to merge two or more reports present in a specified directory.

Moreover, you can compare the data present in two separate frequency reports, to view which words are present in one but are missing in the other.

Overall, this is a useful program for those who need to analyze texts written in Japanese. It can generate frequency and readability reports and export them to TXT files. However, it would be helpful if they could be saved to other formats or formatted differently, as they are currently difficult to interpret.
