KeyboardBattle is a simple program that compares the performance of keyboard layouts according to two metrics, reach effort (travel from the home row being increasingly effortful) and alternation effort (typing consecutive keys with a single hand being more effortful). For both, a lower value means less effort.
The program comes with the QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak layouts. The format for a keyboard layout description file can be discerned from lib/keyboard_battle/keyboards.rb.
$ gem install keyboard_battle

Only ASCII characters will be counted (though any character may appear in the source text).
Except for "the quick brown fox," bundled texts are sourced from archive.org.
