10 сервисов для оценки качества текстов — Офтоп на vc.ru

Один из главных трендов в сфере контент-менеджмента последних лет — автоматизация всего: и процесса работы копирайтера, и ее проверки, и даже корректирования результатов его работы.

Мы выбрали 10 сервисов. Взяли свой текст, который порадовал нас во всех отношениях (посещаемость, переходы, количество обращений, продажи), и проверили его в каждой из систем.

Результаты были лестными: нашу заметку признали качественной по ряду параметров: водность, читабельность, спамность.

Были и казусы: один из сервисов посчитал, что наш текст — это и не текст вовсе, а просто набор букв, а другой, что он слишком «водянистый», «заспамленный». Хотя читателей и наших новых клиентов, полученных благодаря этому тексту, подача информации вполне устроила.

Впрочем, обо всем по порядку.

Бета-версия анализатора качества контента. Анализ проводится на базе закона Ципфа, то есть качество текста в данном случае определяется на основании соответствия частоты употребления слов в естественной речи и тексте.

Результат выдается в двух окнах: в одном — график, в другом — частота использования отдельных слов и рекомендации по корректировке.

Скриншоты проверки текста:

Сервис оценил качество нашего текста на «удовлетворительно» и указал, какие слова, по его мнению, встречаются чаще, чем следует.

Что хорошо? Быстро, удобно, наглядно.

Что плохо? Сервис не умеет анализировать тексты длиннее 5 тысяч слов.

Непонятно, что такое эти «читательа» и прочие странные вещи, которые сервис считает синонимами употребленных в тексте слов. Впрочем, мы помним, что перед нами — бета-версия.

Еще один анализатор текста по закону Ципфа с рекомендациями по коррекции частоты встречающихся слов. То есть принцип оценки — тот же, что у предыдущего сервиса.

Скриншот результата проверки текста:

Этот сервис счел, что предложенный для анализа текст выглядит естественно, и высоко оценил его качество.

Что хорошо? Очень наглядно, удобно, с таблицей соответствия и рекомендациями. Есть возможность анализировать текст со страницы сайта, просто указывая ссылку.

Предельный объем текста — 15 тысяч слов. Анализирует также тошноту текста.

Что плохо? Ничего плохого не замечено. Но мы видим, что этот анализатор дал нашему тексту более высокую оценку по сравнению с предыдущим. Может быть, он нам льстит?

Сервис, который умеет анализировать текст по многим параметрам и искать орфографические ошибки. Нас будет интересовать функция проверки водности, то есть слов, которые не несут полезной информации.

Слова-паразиты, вводные фразы, шаблонные обороты — все это «вода». Некоторое ее количество есть в любом тексте, и само по себе это не является проблемой, но до определенного порога. Оптимальным считается показатель водности менее 30%, максимальный предел — 60%.

Скриншоты результата проверки текста:

На первом скриншоте мы видим выделенные слова и фразы, которые сервис назвал «водой», и нельзя сказать, что ход его мыслей всегда очевиден.

А на втором скриншоте, где анализатор собрал совокупные данные по тексту, мы видим, что его водность определена в 44%. Это достаточно много, то есть наш текст, по результатам этого анализа, нуждается в существенной корректировке.

Что хорошо? Удобно и быстро. Вставляем текст, выбираем нужный параметр анализа, получаем результат. Не нужно вставлять текст всякий раз заново, если нужно проанализировать разные параметры.

Заодно с водностью сервис анализирует тошноту, показывает наиболее часто используемые слова, адекватно определяет тематику текста.

Что плохо? Нам трудно поверить, что в тексте действительно 44% воды. Мы, скорее, склонны усомни

90000 Causes, Prevention, and When to Seek Help 90001 90002 Nausea is stomach discomfort and the sensation of wanting to vomit. Nausea can be a precursor to vomiting the contents of the stomach. The condition has many causes and can often be prevented. 90003 90002 Nausea can stem from a variety of causes. Some people are highly sensitive to motion or to certain foods, medications, or the effects of certain medical conditions. All these things can cause nausea. Common causes of nausea are described below.90003 90006 Heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) 90007 90002 Heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause your stomach’s contents to move back up your esophagus when you eat. This creates a burning sensation that causes nausea. 90003 90006 Infection or virus 90007 90002 Bacteria or viruses can affect the stomach and lead to nausea. Foodborne bacteria can cause an illness known as food poisoning. Viral infections can also cause nausea. 90003 90006 Medications 90007 90002 Taking certain medications — for example, cancer treatments like chemotherapy — can upset the stomach or contribute to nausea.Be sure to carefully read the medication information for any new treatments you may be taking. 90003 90002 Reading this information and talking to your doctor about any medications and treatments you’re receiving can help you minimize medication-related nausea. 90003 90006 Motion sickness and seasickness 90007 90002 Motion sickness and seasickness can result from a bumpy ride on a vehicle. This movement can cause the messages transmitted to the brain to not sync up with the senses, leading to nausea, dizziness, or vomiting.90003 90006 Diet 90007 90002 Overeating or eating certain foods, such as spicy or high-fat foods, can upset the stomach and cause nausea. Eating foods you’re allergic to can also cause nausea. 90003 90006 Pain 90007 90002 Intense pain can contribute to nausea symptoms. This is true for painful conditions such as pancreatitis, gallbladder stones, and or kidney stones. 90003 90006 Ulcer 90007 90002 Ulcers, or sores in the stomach or the lining of the small intestine, can contribute to nausea.When you eat, an ulcer can cause a burning sensation and sudden nausea. 90003 90002 Nausea is also a symptom of several other medical conditions, including: 90003 90002 Seek immediate medical help if your nausea is accompanied by heart attack symptoms. Heart attack symptoms include crushing chest pain, an intense headache, jaw pain, sweating, or pain in your left arm. 90003 90002 You should also seek emergency attention if you experience nausea combined with a severe headache, stiff neck, difficulty breathing, or confusion.Seek medical help if you suspect that you’ve ingested a poisonous substance or if you’re dehydrated. 90003 90002 See your physician if nausea has left you unable to eat or drink for more than 12 hours. You should also see your physician if your nausea does not subside within 24 hours of trying over-the-counter interventions. 90003 90002 Always seek medical attention if you’re concerned you may be experiencing a medical emergency. 90003 90002 Treatment for nausea depends on the cause. 90003 90002 Sitting in the front seat of a car, for example, may relieve motion sickness.Motion sickness can also be helped with medications such as dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), an antihistamine, or by applying a scopolamine patch to relieve seasickness. 90003 90002 Taking medications to address nausea’s underlying cause can help as well. Examples include stomach-acid reducers for GERD or pain-relieving medications for intense headaches. 90003 90002 Keeping hydrated can help to minimize dehydration after your nausea subsides. This includes taking small, frequent sips of clear liquids, such as water or an electrolyte-containing beverage.90003 90002 When you begin to reintroduce food, it’s helpful to stick to the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) until your stomach is more settled. 90003 90002 Avoiding nausea triggers can help to prevent nausea’s onset. This includes avoiding: 90003 90058 90059 flickering lights, which can trigger migraine attacks 90060 90059 heat and humidity 90060 90059 sea voyages 90060 90059 strong odors, such as perfume and cooking smells 90060 90067 90002 Taking an anti-nausea medication (scopolamine) before a journey can also prevent motion sickness.90003 90002 Changes to your eating habits, such as eating small, frequent meals, can help to reduce nausea symptoms. Avoiding intense physical activity after meals can also minimize nausea. Avoiding spicy, high-fat, or greasy foods can also help. 90003 90002 Examples of foods that are less likely to cause nausea include cereal, crackers, toast, gelatin, and broth. 90003.90000 Managing Nausea and Vomiting at Home 90001 90002 Many drugs or combination of drugs are available to help prevent and control vomiting. These may also control nausea. 90003 90002 Your body has several different pathways that trigger nausea and vomiting. Anti-nausea and vomiting drugs (sometimes called 90005 anti-emetics 90006) have been developed to target and block these pathways. Some of these drugs target the vomiting center in the brain, while others work as rescue therapy if the initial nausea medicine does not work.Based on this knowledge, and the treatment’s potential to cause nausea and vomiting, your doctor will recommend certain anti-nausea and vomiting medicines. 90005 You might have to try a few different drugs to find the ones that work best for you. 90006 90003 90010 Types of anti-nausea and vomiting drugs 90011 90002 Anti-emetic drugs are grouped by how they work in the body on different types of nausea and vomiting: 90003 90014 90015 90005 Serotonin (5-HT3) 90006 90005 antagonists 90006 block the effects of serotonin, a substance that commonly triggers nausea and vomiting.These drugs are effective at controlling 90005 acute 90006 nausea and vomiting and are usually given before chemo and then for a few days afterward. (Examples: Ondansetron, Granisetron, Dolasetron, Palonosetron) 90022 90015 90005 NK-1 receptor antagonists 90006 block the effects of the NK-1 receptor, a receptor that is a part of the vomiting reflex. These drugs help with 90005 delayed 90006 nausea and vomiting. They’re often given with other anti-nausea medicines. (Examples: Aprepitant, Rolapitant, Fosaprepitant) 90022 90015 90005 Steroids 90006 are often given with other anti-emetic drugs to better prevent nausea and vomiting.(Example: Dexamethasone) 90022 90015 90005 Dopamine antagonists 90006 target dopamine to help prevent this substance from binding to areas in the brain that trigger nausea and vomiting. Many times these drugs are given when nausea and vomiting is 90005 not well controlled 90006 by other drugs. (Examples: Prochlorperazine, Metoclopramide) 90022 90015 90005 Benzodiazepines, sometimes called anti-anxiety drugs 90006 can help reduce nausea and vomiting by reducing anxiety and helping the person feel more calm and relaxed.These drugs may be more helpful with patients who experience 90005 anticipatory 90006 nausea and vomiting and are often used in combination with other anti-nausea drugs. (Examples: Lorazepam, Alprazolam) 90022 90015 90005 Cannabinoids 90006 contain the active ingredient in marijuana. These drugs may be used to treat nausea and vomiting from chemo when the usual anti-emetic drugs do not work. They also may be used to stimulate appetite. Talk to your doctor about any side effects you might experience while using cannabinoids.(Example: Dronabinol, Nabilone) 90022 90015 90005 Olanzapine 90006 is a newer drug used to treat nausea and vomiting. It has been shown to be helpful in reducing 90005 breakthrough and delayed 90006 nausea and vomiting. In studies, when used in combination with other anti-nausea and vomiting drugs, nausea was reported to be better controlled. It can make you sleepy, so talk to your doctor about the side effects you might have while using Olanzapine. 90022 90055 90002 The drug names given above are only examples.This is 90005 not 90006 a complete list of the drugs in each group. 90003 90060 Cost of anti-nausea and vomiting drugs 90061 90002 Many of these drugs can be expensive and you might need pre-approval from your health insurance before they will be covered. Others are available as generic drugs and cost a lot less than the name brands. Do not be afraid to ask your cancer care team about the cost of these drugs, what your options are, and what you might have to pay out of pocket. It’s important to think about how many pills you may need to get you through your treatment.Be sure you talk to your insurance company about how many pills are covered for each prescription, and let your doctor know if you think you might not have enough to get you through until your next appointment. 90003 90060 How are anti-nausea and vomiting medicines given? 90061 90002 There are many ways to take anti-nausea and vomiting medicines. For instance, you may be able to take them: 90003 90014 90015 Through an IV (intravenously) 90022 90015 By mouth as a pill or liquid you swallow 90022 90015 As a tablet that dissolves under your tongue 90022 90015 As a suppository 90022 90015 Through a patch that sticks to your skin 90022 90055 90002 Your doctor will consider the following things when deciding the best way to give your anti-emetics: 90003 90014 90015 How likely it is that the cancer treatment will cause nausea and vomiting 90022 90015 How bad your nausea and / or vomiting is 90022 90015 The easiest way for you to take the medicine 90022 90015 What you prefer 90022 90015 How quickly the drug will start working 90022 90015 Your medical insurance coverage (many of these drugs are very expensive, especially in IV form) 90022 90055 90002 If the drugs used at first do not work, your doctor can switch you to another drug or add a new drug.Another option is to give the drugs a different way (by a different route). Taking pills by mouth is often the best, easiest, and cheapest way to prevent nausea and vomiting. But if you’re already vomiting, or you can not swallow and keep things down, the medicine might need to be given another way. 90003 90002 Let your doctor know if you are still having problems despite treatment. Do not let nausea and vomiting make you feel bad and keep you from getting the nutrition your body needs during treatment.There’s no reason for you to have uncontrolled nausea and vomiting. There are many drugs that can be used to prevent and treat these side effects. 90003 90010 Complementary or alternative (non-drug) treatments for nausea and vomiting 90011 90002 Anti-nausea and vomiting drugs (anti-emetics) are the main treatments for nausea and vomiting, but some non-drug treatments can also be used. These involve using your mind and body with the help of a qualified therapist. 90003 90002 Non-drug treatments may be used alone for mild nausea, and are often helpful for anticipatory nausea and vomiting.These methods can be used with anti-nausea and vomiting medicines for a person whose cancer treatment is likely to cause nausea and vomiting. If you’d like to try one or more of these methods, ask a member of your cancer care team if the methods are safe for you and to refer you to a therapist trained in these techniques. 90003 90002 These methods try to decrease nausea and vomiting by: 90003 90014 90015 Helping you feel relaxed 90022 90015 Distracting you from what’s going on 90022 90015 Helping you feel in control 90022 90015 Making you feel less helpless 90022 90055 90002 Below are some non-drug methods that have helped some people.Most of them have few or no side effects. 90005 B 90006 90005 efore using any of these treatments, check with your cancer care team to see if they are safe for you. 90006 Ask your cancer care team what non-drug treatments they may have available and which ones they can recommend. 90003 90060 Hypnosis 90061 90002 Hypnosis can be used to make behavior changes to control nausea and vomiting. It creates a state of intense attention, willingness, and readiness to accept an idea. It is done by a trained specialist.90003 90060 Relaxation techniques 90061 90002 Relaxation techniques such as meditation (focusing the mind), breathing exercises, or progressive muscle relaxation (tensing and relaxing the muscles) can help decrease nausea and vomiting. 90003 90060 Biofeedback 90061 90002 Biofeedback helps people reach a state of relaxation. It uses monitoring devices to help people gain conscious control over physical processes that are usually controlled automatically. Using biofeedback, a person learns to control a certain physical response of the body, such as nausea and vomiting.This is done by tuning in to the moment-to-moment body changes that are linked to the physical response. For example, biofeedback can be used to prevent skin temperature changes, such as those that often happen before nausea and vomiting starts. Biofeedback alone has not been found to work as well as for nausea and vomiting as the combination of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation. 90003 90060 Guided imagery 90061 90002 Guided imagery lets people mentally remove themselves from the treatment center and imagine that they are in a place that’s relaxing for them.The place can be a vacation spot, a room at home, or some other safe or pleasant place. While trying to imagine what they usually feel, hear, see, and taste in the pleasant place, some people can mentally block the nausea and vomiting. 90003 90060 Systematic desensitization 90061 90002 Systematic desensitization helps people learn how to imagine an anxiety-producing situation (such as nausea and vomiting) and reduce the anxiety related to the situation. In most cases, what a person can imagine without anxiety, he or she can then experience in the real world without anxiety.90003 90060 Acupuncture or acupressure 90061 90002 Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese technique in which very thin needles are put into the skin. There are a number of different acupuncture techniques, including some that use pressure rather than needles (acupressure). Acupuncture or acupressure can help with nausea. 90003 90060 Music therapy 90061 90002 Specially trained health professionals use music to help promote healing .. Music therapists may use different methods with each person, depending on that person’s needs and abilities.There’s some evidence that, when used with standard treatment, music therapy can help to reduce nausea and vomiting due to chemo. 90003 90010 Managing nausea and vomiting at home 90011 90002 Frequent vomiting can be dangerous because it can lead to dehydration. It can also lead to inhaling food or liquids, which can cause choking and other problems. 90003 90002 Be sure to tell your cancer care team if you have nausea or are vomiting because there are medicines that can help.These medicines should be taken on a regular schedule, or as needed, as prescribed by your doctor. And if a certain drug does not work, your cancer care team may be able to recommend another one. It may take a few tries to find the medicines that work best for you. Talk with your cancer care team about what’s causing your nausea and vomiting and what you can do about it. 90003 90010 What to look for 90011 90014 90015 Changes in eating habits 90022 90015 Foul mouth odor 90022 90015 Yellow or green foul-smelling fluids on bedclothes 90022 90015 Feeling queasy or having an upset stomach 90022 90015 Increased saliva, clamminess, and sweating that may come before vomiting 90022 90055 90010 What the patient can do 90011 90060 For nausea 90061 90014 90015 Eat the foods you like and those that sound good to you.For example, some people develop a dislike for red meat and meat broths during treatment. In that case, try other protein sources, such as fish, chicken, beans, and nuts. 90022 90055 90014 90015 If the nausea only happens between meals, keep something in your stomach. Eat frequent, small snacks throughout the day. Snack ideas include smoothies, trail mix, and fruit. 90022 90015 Do not skip meals or snacks. If your stomach is empty, your nausea might be worse. 90022 90015 On chemotherapy treatment days, eat a small meal or snack before treatment.90022 90015 Try to avoid eating your favorite foods when you have nausea. If you eat foods you like when you are nauseated, you could find them unappealing when treatment is over because you associated them with feeling sick. 90022 90015 Sip liquids slowly throughout the day. You may find it easier to tolerate cold and clear liquids (Clear liquids are those you can see through, such as ginger ale, apple juice, broth, tea, etc.) 90022 90015 Also try popsicles or gelatin. Suck on hard candy with pleasant smells, such as lemon drops or mints, to help get rid of bad tastes.(Do not eat tart candies if you have mouth sores.) 90022 90015 Eat bland foods, such as dry toast and crackers. 90022 90015 Eat food cold or at room temperature to decrease its smell and taste. 90022 90015 Avoid fatty, fried, spicy, or very sweet foods. 90022 90015 Try small amounts of foods high in calories that are easy to eat (such as pudding, ice cream, sherbets, yogurt, and milkshakes) several times a day. 90022 90015 Use butter, oils, syrups, sauces, and milk in foods to raise calories.90022 90015 Avoid low-fat foods unless fats upset your stomach or cause other problems. 90022 90015 Tart or sour foods may be easier to keep down (unless you have mouth sores). 90022 90015 Try to rest quietly while sitting upright for at least an hour after each meal. 90022 90015 Distract yourself with soft music, a favorite TV program, or the company of others. 90022 90015 Tell your cancer team about the nausea, because there are many drugs that can help it. 90022 90015 Take your anti-nausea medicine at the first signs of nausea to help prevent vomiting.90022 90015 While waiting for your nausea medicine to work, relax and take slow, deep breaths. 90022 90055 90060 What to eat or not eat on days that you have nausea * 90061 90220 90221 90222 90223 90002 90003 90226 90223 90002 90005 Eat 90006 90003 90226 90223 90002 90005 Foods that may cause problems 90006 90003 90226 90239 90222 90223 90002 90005 Protein foods 90006 90003 90226 90223 90002 Boiled or baked meat, fish, and poultry; cold meat or fish salad 90003 90002 Well cooked eggs 90003 90002 Cream soups made with low-fat milk 90003 90002 Non-fat yogurt 90003 90002 Juice-type commercial protein supplements (for example, Ensure Clear) blended with ice and eaten with a spoon 90003 90002 Cottage cheese 90003 90002 Cold sandwiches 90003 90226 90223 90002 Fatty and fried meats, like sausage or bacon 90003 90002 Fried eggs 90003 90002 Milk shakes (unless made with low-fat milk and ice cream) 90003 90226 90239 90222 90223 90002 90005 Breads, cereals, rice, and pasta 90006 90003 90226 90223 90002 Saltines, soda crackers, bread, toast, pretzels, cold cereal, English muffins, bagels 90003 90002 Plain noodles, white rice 90003 90226 90223 90002 Doughnuts, pastries, waffles, pancakes, muffins 90003 90226 90239 90222 90223 90002 90005 Fruits and vegetables 90006 90003 90226 90223 90002 Potatoes (baked, boiled, or mashed) 90003 90002 Canned or fresh fruits, vegetables as tolerated (do not eat if appetite is poor or nausea is severe) 90003 90226 90223 90002 Potato chips, fried potatoes such as french fries or hash browns 90003 90002 Breaded, fried, or creamed vegetables; vegetables with strong odor 90003 90226 90239 90222 90223 90002 90005 Drinks, desserts, and other foods 90006 90003 90226 90223 90002 Ginger ale, cold fruit drinks, caffeine-free and noncarbonated soft drinks such as fruit punch and sport drinks, caffeine-free iced tea 90003 90002 Sherbet, fruit-flavored gelatin 90003 90002 Angel food cake, sponge cake; vanilla wafers 90003 90002 Pudding made with low-fat milk 90003 90002 Popsicles, juice bars, fruit ices 90003 90002 Pretzels 90003 90002 Salt, cinnamon, spices as tolerated 90003 90226 90223 90002 Alcohol 90003 90002 Coffee 90003 90002 Tea 90003 90002 Pie, ice cream, rich cakes 90003 90002 Spicy salad dressings 90003 90002 Olives 90003 90002 Cream 90003 90002 Pepper, chili powder, onion, hot sauce, seasoning mixtures 90003 90226 90239 90352 90353 90002 * Adapted from The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics; 2013 90003 90060 For vomiting 90061 90014 90015 If you are in bed, lie on your side so that you will not inhale the vomit.90022 90015 Ask that medicines be prescribed in the form that would be easiest for you to tolerate, such as dissolving tablets or suppositories, if possible.
