| Description: | Lingua::EN::Readability calculates statistics on English text. It can supply counts of words, sentences and syllables. It can also calculate several readability measures, such as a Fog Index and a Flesch-Kincaid level. The package includes the module Lingua::EN::Sentence, which breaks English text into sentences heeding abbreviations, and Lingua::EN::Syllable, which can guess the number of syllables in a written English word. If a pronouncing dictionary is available it can look up the number of syllables in the dictionary for greater accuracy |
