NeoSCA is a fork of Xiaofei Lu's L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer (L2SCA) and Lexical Complexity Analyzer, featuring cross-platform compatibility and a graphical interface. Starting from version 0.1.0, NeoSCA no longer requires Java installation, it has translated a portion of the Tregex code into Python and favors Stanza over Stanford Parser.
