Chinese Article Evaluation Tool will evalute your article by counting number of unique Chinese characters in the article, how many of them is not in the first 500 character list (cover 72.1% usages in classical and modern Chinese texts so to learn Chinese effectively, we’d better first learn those characters), thus to determine if this is an easy article for beginers or not. It is a good Chinese Character Counting Tool too. The stripped text with puctuation marks removed can be used as materials to have students practice Chinese style punctuation marks.
Version 0.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes. More anhancements are coming soon by adding word counting and level determining engine so it makes it easier for teachers/tutors to select appropriate reading materials for their students, and to evaluate how well their students perform in their Chinese writing. The output format will be refined once I have a little bit more time.
