Problem
Can writing signals be explained, and a text revised, without losing what it means?
What it is
A local prototype for explainable writing-signal analysis and meaning-preserving revision. It explores patterns in language while keeping text on the local device.
Stage
Local prototype
Original interface illustration for VoiceLab, showing writing passages beside a language signal visualization
This experiment does not establish authorship. The cover is an original illustration.

Focus

Explainable analysis and thoughtful revision

Try the signals

This page shows the idea with sample text; the prototype itself isn’t shown here.

Every signal below is computed by this page, in your browser, as you type. The text is never sent anywhere.

Sample data: a short paragraph written for this page. Edit it or paste your own text.

It stays in this tab: nothing is sent or stored.

Words per sentence

8 · 19 · 11 · 6 · 26

Average sentence
14.0 words
Words per sentence. It shows rhythm, not quality.
Word variety
0.76 53 of 70 words are distinct
Distinct words divided by all words, the type/token ratio. It falls as a text gets longer, so compare texts of similar length.
Long words
11% seven letters or more
A hint of density. It says nothing about whether a word is the right one.
Reading ease
75 fairly easy
Flesch reading ease: 206.835 − 1.015 × (words ÷ sentences) − 84.6 × (syllables ÷ words). Higher reads easier. Syllables are estimated, and the formula was made for English.
Most repeated
  • library ×2
  • quiet ×2
Most frequent words, leaving out common ones like “the” and “and”. Repetition can be a choice; this only counts it.

None of these signals says who wrote a text. This experiment does not establish authorship.

Keeping the meaning

A meaning-preserving revision is an edit that still says the same thing. The drawing shows one way to check that, step by step.

  1. Original

    “The meeting, which had been planned for later in the week, was moved to Monday.”

  2. Suggested edit

    “The meeting moved from later in the week to Monday.”

  3. Meaning check

    Same event, same change, same day. Nothing added, nothing lost.

  4. Keep or reject

    Keep it. Had the day or the event changed, the original would stay.

Illustration: how a meaning-preserving revision could be checked. It shows the idea, not a measured system.
