About SMS Linguistics
Text message analytics for data junkies. (Only compatible with standard SMS, not Google Voice, WhatsApp, or other alternative texting apps)
Apply text analytics to your sent messages and see what makes your texts unique! You can also analyze conversations with your contacts.
STATS
-Phrases that are unique to you
-Texts sent per month
-Average sent message length

-Number of sent messages by time of day
-(Per contact) vocabulary overlap
-(Per contact) response time
-(Per contact) randomly generated messages
Source code is available at https://github.com/ktrnka/droidling
PRIVACY
The app doesn't send your info to anyone unless you choose to do so by sharing.
Permission details
(NEW in 1.2) READ_PROFILE: Get your profile picture for the main screen.
READ_SMS: Reads the messages to analyze.
READ_CONTACTS: Get the contact names for each phone number (the raw messages don't have this info). Also get the images for your contacts.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: When sharing graphs, they must be written temporarily to storage before being shared.
COMPATIBILITY
This will only work if you have sent and received text messages and they're stored on your device in the typical place. (Won't work with Google Voice SMS)
Key phrases may be poor in languages other than English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Russian, Norwegian, Portuguese, or Korean. I've only done automated testing for non-English languages so let me know if it's good/bad.
Key phrases will be poor quality if you don't text much. I'll be working to improve this in upcoming releases.
Interpersonal Stats' shared phrases may be poor if you text in different languages with different people.
IN DEVELOPMENT
This is my first app and I'm still learning, so this is a work in progress. Please post or email any feedback! If you find any bugs, please describe your hardware and short steps to reproduce the bug.

Needs more description. What do these numbers mean? Like jaccard. I'm not talking about the formula or even the percentages. If I have one contact that the numbers are 25% and 22.5% respectively. Yet another contact it's 18% and 1.2%. There is a huge difference between the two contacts. What does it mean

Awesome little app does exactly what it says with no intrusion, but would love to see it expanded. Seems it hasn't been updated in almost a year... Why not add some sentiment analysis? Get sms linguistics and learn something about your texting relationships!

Honestly love this app so much. I almost never actually rate apps/write reviews, but this one I use so much and get so much entertainment out of I felt I had to. One idea though is to let it work for other messaging clients- eg Facebook messenger, gchat, etc. Other than that, awesome work!
