Text Analyser

Text Analyser is a Java-based application capable of analyzing plain text documents to generate reports with word and letter occurrences, as well as of comparing any two files.

Clear-cut interface and options

The interface is user-friendly, made from a large window that gives you an overview of all options put at your disposal. After loading a TXT file, you can check out its full path, reading and writing permissions, size, date and time of last modification, along with the hash of the file path.

Analyze reports and compare files

It's possible to preview file contents in your default text editor, as well as to examine the analysis report to find out the number of times each letter was used, total letters and other characters, worth length, occurrences, as well as total and unique words.
The report can be saved to file by specifying the output directory and filename. In addition, you can compare any two files to find out if they're identical by taking into account their hashes.

No setup necessary, besides Java

The entire tool's wrapped in an executable .jar file that can be saved anywhere on the disk or copied to a removable storage unit to effortlessly run it on any computer with Java. It doesn't create files on the disk without your approval or add new entries to your system registry.

Evaluation and conclusion

Analysis and comparison tasks were performed quickly in our tests while the program remained light on system resources consumption, using a low amount of CPU and RAM. It was stable throughout its runtime, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or indicate errors.
Too bad that it hasn't been updated for a long time. Otherwise, Text Analyser comes equipped with approachable options for analyzing and comparing text documents.
