TexLexAn is the project of an automatic text analyzer, classifier and summarizer. 

It can be used to:

• Estimate the reading time and the reading difficulty.

• Categorize a text (automatic classifier).

• List keywords.

• Summarize by extraction.

• Count repetition and estimate the ratio of basic words

• Look for an eventual plagiarism.
• Evaluate sentiments.
• Archive & retrieve documents.
• Knowledge base.

It works with:

• url links (use wget ).

• text and html files.

• pdf, odt, ppt, doc files but require pdftotext, odt2txt, ppthtml and antiword to be installed).

 The summarizer extracts the most relevant sentences in the text. It simplifies them a little bit by removing the sentences between the brackets and the repetition of same sentences, and replaces the deadwood expressions with their shortest forms (mode VIII). 

-TexLexAn programs are tested on Ubuntu 8.04//9.04/10.04 and FreeBSD 6.2. The binaries included in the package work on Ubuntu 10.04
