Interactive Writing Analysis Tutorial

Welcome to the Interactive Tutorial!

This tutorial will guide you through the process of analyzing text and understanding the results. We'll use a sample text to demonstrate how the analysis works.

What You'll Learn
  • How to input text for analysis
  • What the analysis results mean
  • How to interpret your writing style
  • How to use the linguistic fingerprint data

Let's start by looking at a sample text we'll analyze together.

Step 1: Input Your Text

To begin, you need to input text to analyze. You can upload a file, paste from a URL, or directly paste text. For this tutorial, we'll use this sample academic excerpt:

I propose to consider the question, 'Can machines think?' This should begin with definitions of the terms 'machine' and 'think'. The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous. If the meaning of the words 'machine' and 'think' are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, 'Can machines think?' is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll. But this is absurd. Instead of attempting such a definition I shall replace the question by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words. The new form of the problem can be described in terms of a game which we call the 'imitation game'. It is played with three people, a man (A), a woman (B), and an interrogator (C) who may be of either sex. The interrogator stays in a room apart from the other two.
Analysis Input Tip

For best results, analyze at least 300-500 words of text. This provides enough data for accurate analysis of your writing patterns.

In a real analysis, you would paste your text into the input area and click the "Analyze" button. For this tutorial, let's assume we've already done that and proceed to the analysis results.

Step 2: Analysis Results Overview

After clicking "Analyze", the system processes your text and presents the results. Let's explore what these results tell you about the sample text.

Understanding the Results

The analysis has identified this as primarily Academic Writing with Technical elements. This means it uses formal language, complex sentence structures, and specialized vocabulary typical of scholarly work.

The metrics show that this text:

  • Grade Level of 16.5: Requires graduate-level education to understand
  • Reading Ease of 42.1: Considered difficult reading for general audiences
  • Reading Time: Estimated to take about 30 seconds to read

Step 3: Understanding Key Metrics

Now let's look at the key metrics that define the writing style:

What These Metrics Tell You

This sample text is highly formal and complex, written at a graduate level. It primarily uses active voice and is written mostly from the first person perspective ("I propose...").

These core metrics provide a snapshot of your writing style and help you understand if your text matches your intended audience and purpose.

Step 4: Exploring Your Linguistic Fingerprint

The Linguistic Fingerprint section reveals the unique patterns in your writing that create your distinctive style:

Sentence Construction
Simple 25.0%
Compound 37.5%
Complex 37.5%
Perspective & Voice
First Person 62.5%
Second Person 0%
Third Person 37.5%
Vocabulary Profile
Complex Words 18.2%
Uncommon Words 42.1%
Function Word Distribution
Articles 7.8%
Prepositions 12.3%
Notable Patterns in Your Sample

This text shows a balanced mix of compound and complex sentences with strong first-person perspective. The high percentage of uncommon words (42.1%) contributes to its academic style.

Step 5: Examples from Your Text

The analysis also provides specific examples of patterns found in your text:

Simple Sentence Example:
But this is absurd.
Complex Sentence Example:
If the meaning of the words 'machine' and 'think' are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, 'Can machines think?' is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll.

Why Examples Matter

Looking at these concrete examples helps you identify specific patterns in your writing. This awareness allows you to make intentional choices about your style.

How to Use Your Analysis Results

Now that you understand your writing analysis, here's how to apply these insights:

For Academic Writing (like the sample)
  • Grade Level: Check if it matches your target audience (undergraduate, graduate, etc.)
  • Formality: Academic writing typically scores high (7-10) on formality
  • Complex Sentences: Academic writing often has 30%+ complex sentences
  • Vocabulary: Higher percentages of complex and uncommon words are typical
Adjusting Your Writing Style

Based on your results, you might want to:

  • Increase Readability: Use more simple sentences and common words
  • Sound More Academic: Increase complexity, passive voice, and formal language
  • Sound More Conversational: Add more pronouns, contractions, and simpler sentences
  • Adjust Perspective: Shift between first, second, or third person based on purpose

Remember that there's no "perfect" writing styleβ€”the best style depends on your audience and purpose.
