Scansion Tool Turns Poetry’s Pulse into Something You Can Test

Why it surfaced

Scansion Tool treats poetry as both language and sound: paste in a poem, inspect its stresses and feet, then play an audio pulse for examples such as Shakespeare’s iambic pentameter or Blake’s trochaic verse. Its 15 specialized analyzers make a narrow literary task unusually tangible without requiring a sign-up or upload.

A free browser-based suite for analyzing poetic meter, syllables, stresses, rhyme schemes, and classical verse.
