Why
---

[](#why)

The one other implementation [davechild/textstatistics](https://packagist.org/packages/davechild/textstatistics)sadly only implements statistics for english texts. That sadly didn't work for texts with f.e. german umlauts. So I decided to implement some of the algorithms again using work I already did for a [hyphenator](https://packagist.org/packages/org_heigl/hyphenator).

That's why f.e. the syllable-calculation differs.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

TextStatistics is best installed using [composer](https://getcomposer.org)

```
$ composer require org_heigl/textstatistics
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The different Calculators all implement a common `CalculatorInterface`and therefore all provide a `calculate`-Method that expects a `Text`-Object containing the Text to be calculated.

Currently these Statistics are avalable:

- Average Sentence Length
- Average Syllables per word
- Character-Count (including Whitespace)
- Character-Count (excluding whitespace)
- Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level
- Flesch-Reading-Ease for English texts
- Flesch-Reading-Ease for German texts
- Flesch-Reading-Ease School-Grade measurement
- Sentence-Count
- Max Syllables in Sentence
- Max Words in Sentence
- Syllable-Count
- Wiener Sachtext-Formel 1, 2, 3 and 4
- Word-Count
- Max Syllables in Word
- Number of words with minimum N characters
- Percentage of Words with minimum N characters
- Number of words with minimum N syllables
- Percentage of words with minimum N syllables
- Number of words with only N syllables
- Percentage of words with only N syllables

There are Factory-Methods for each statistic available, so getting one of the statistics requires the following line of code:

```
$text = new \Org_Heigl\TextStatistics\Text($theText);
$wordCount =\Org_Heigl\TextStatistics\Service\WordCounterFactory::getCalculator()->calculate($text);
$fleschReadingEase = /Org_Heigl\TextStatistics\Service\FleschReadingEaseCalculatorFactory::getCalculator()->calculate($text);
```

You can also add multiple Calculators to the TextStatisticsGenerator and retrieve multiple Statistics in one go like this:

```
$text = new \Org_Heigl\TextStatistics\Text($theText);

$statGenerator = new \Org_Heigl\TextStatistics\TextSTatisticsGenerator();
$statGenerator->add('wordCount', \Org_Heigl\TextStatistics\Service\WordCounterFactory::getCalculator());
$statGenerator->add('flesch', \Org_Heigl\TextStatistics\Service\FleschReadingEaseCalculatorFactory::getCalculator());

print_R($statGenerator->calculate($text));

// array(
//    'wordCount' => xx,
//    'flesch' => yy,
// )
```
