Reads the text on a page and profiles it against seven dichotomies. All scoring happens in your browser; the word list is bundled. A.M.E. Text Analysis Profiles writing against seven dichotomies. Reads the page you are on. No servers, no tracking, nothing leaves your browser. Detailed description A.M.E. Text Analysis reads the text on a page and profiles the writing against seven dichotomies — Direct or Indirect, Specific or General, Future/Past or Present, Interactive or Speculative, Simple or Complex, Process or Results, Flexible or Rigid — plus three data-type axes and a derived view of seven approaches. Click the toolbar icon on any page to capture its text, or select a passage first to capture only that. Capture a second page to compare two writers side by side; the panel lists the axes in order of how far apart they are. Everything runs locally. The 14,482-entry word list is bundled inside the extension and no network request is ever made. WHAT IT DOES Reads the current page, or your selection Scores seven dichotomies and eight data types Draws a profile diagram showing the three strongest leanings Compares two texts and ranks the differences Shows the words and phrases driving each reading NOTES Works best on 500 words or more. Below that, treat a reading as a hint. Google Docs and Office Online draw text on a canvas, so no extension can read them directly — use the built-in paste box for those. PRIVACY No servers, no analytics, no accounts, no host permissions. The extension cannot reach any site other than the page you are on when you click the icon, and it makes no network requests at all. Category Productivity Permission justifications activeTab Reads the visible text of the page the user is viewing, only at the moment they click the extension's toolbar icon. This is the extension's core function — the captured text is scored locally and shown in the side panel. scripting Injects the text-extraction script into the current page at the moment the user clicks the toolbar icon. Required to obtain the page text that active Tab grants access to. side Panel Displays the analysis results in Chrome's side panel. storage Holds the captured text in chrome.storage.session so the side panel can read it after the service worker captures it. Session storage is cleared when the browser closes; nothing is written to disk. Remote code None. All code and data are bundled in the package. No remotely hosted scripts are loaded or executed.
