Styloscope

Version: 1.0 (2024-04-01)

Styloscope is a tool for automatic writing style analysis. After uploading a corpus of texts, the tool provides insights into writing style features such as readability, lexical richness, syntactic features, and more. The outputs of the tool can, for instance, be used to test hypotheses regarding (dis)similarities across corpora written by different (groups of) authors. Styloscope is compatible with texts written in contemporary English, French, German, or Dutch.
