TAADA: Tool for the Automatic analysis of Decoding Ability

TAADA is an NLP tool specifically designed to annotate and count lexical and sub-lexical features related to decoding in English. The features include metrics for grapheme, phoneme, and syllable counts, word frequency, contextual diversity, neighborhood effects, rhymes, and conditional probability.
TAADA takes plain text files as input (it will process all plain text files in a particular folder) and produces a comma separated values (.csv) spreadsheet that is easily read by any spreadsheet software.
