-A text analysis program written in Delphi which scans a whole text file (in plain text, HTML, or EPUB format) and ranks all used words according to frequency, performing a quantitative analysis of the text using Shannon-Weaver information statistic and Zipf power law function. It counts words, chars, spaces, and syllables. Also computes readability indexes (Gunning Fog, Coleman-Liau, Automated Readability Index (ARI), SMOG grade, Flesch–Kincaid grade level and Flesch Reading Ease).
+A cross-platform text analysis program written in Python which scans a whole text file (in plain text, HTML, or EPUB format) and ranks all used words according to frequency, performing a quantitative analysis of the text using Shannon-Weaver information statistic and Zipf power law function. It counts words, chars, spaces, and syllables. Also computes readability indexes (Gunning Fog, Coleman-Liau, Automated Readability Index (ARI), SMOG grade, Flesch–Kincaid grade level and Flesch Reading Ease).

 [Zipf's law](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf_law) states that the frequency of occurence of any word is approximately inversely proportional to its rank in the frequency table. When Zipf's law is applicable, plotting the frequency table on a log-log scale (i.e., log(frequency) versus log(rank order)) will typically show a linear pattern.
