TextMeter is a fast, offline text analysis and word cloud creation tool built for readers, writers, editors, and anyone who loves the written word. What TextMeter does best is count. But as it turns out, counting, combined with visualizing, can be quite a powerful thing. TextMeter will help you find the longest sentences, the toughest vocabulary, the words and phrases a document leans on the most, and will visualize that information for you via interactive graphs with powerful filtering options, and a totally "what you see is what you get" word cloud tool that lets you turn your documents into highly personal creations. Analysis runs entirely on your device: no account, no advertising, and no tracking. A full-length novel takes seconds to analyze. Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. All analysis features are free. A one-time purchase — no subscription — adds history for more than one analysis, iCloud sync, batch importing, and exporting. Find some text and press a button. Then, it's off to the races.
