About the Text Analyzer

Counting words by hand is tedious; counting characters is worse. This analyser breaks any text down into the metrics that matter: characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences, paragraphs, average word length, estimated reading time and Flesch readability score. Useful for everything from proof-reading a blog post to fitting a tweet under the 280-character cap.

The tool is designed for writers, students, content marketers, SEO specialists and product managers who need quick stats on a piece of writing without firing up a desktop word processor. Everything is computed instantly and entirely in your browser.

How to use

  1. Paste or type your text into the input.
  2. Statistics update live with each keystroke.
  3. Read off character, word, sentence and paragraph counts; reading time and readability score.
  4. Use the keyword-density panel to see the top recurring terms.

Common use cases

  • Hitting a strict word count for an essay or assignment.
  • Trimming a tweet to fit under 280 characters.
  • Estimating how long a blog post will take to read.
  • Analysing the keyword density of a piece of marketing copy.

Frequently asked questions

How is reading time calculated?

Words divided by 220 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest 30 seconds. This is the average for an adult reading non-technical English.

What is the Flesch reading-ease score?

A 0-100 score where 60-70 is considered "plain English" and 90+ is very easy. Above 70 is generally readable by an average adult.

Does it count sentences accurately?

It uses end-of-sentence punctuation (. ! ?) and handles common abbreviations. Edge cases like "Mr." or "e.g." may slightly inflate the count.
