Word Analyser

A web app developed in Python and Django that analyzes given text.

in Programming as Python Developer for myself


Every day we are exposed to a lot of information, data, and articles on the internet. Therefore, the way they use a language is one of the essential factors that affect our lives and psychology. The most frequently used nouns, definitions, adjectives, show the quality of the writing. So I wrote a little web application that explores a text and analyzes a fundamental mathematical analysis. However, I wanted to take the project a step further and make an emotional analysis of the language used. Thus, I had the text analyzed as content based on the words considered as positive and negative.

The application analyzes the following values in the given text:

  • Total number of characters
  • Total number of sentences
  • Total number of words
  • Number of words not evaluated (like "the", "and", "but" words)
  • Words with a positive meaning
  • Negative meaning words
  • Words that do not have a positive or negative meaning
  • Words sorted by frequency of use (except words not evaluated)
