About Word Counter & Text Analyzer

Word Counter & Text Analyzer counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines in real time as you type. It also calculates estimated reading time at 238 WPM and speaking time at 130 WPM, and computes the Flesch Reading Ease score to measure how accessible your text is.

The top keyword frequency panel surfaces your most-used words — with optional stop-word filtering — helping you spot overused terms or confirm keyword presence. All analysis runs entirely in your browser; your text is never transmitted to any server.

Common Use Cases

• Verifying that a blog post, essay, or cover letter meets a required word count before submission
• Checking readability scores to ensure marketing copy or documentation is at the right grade level
• Identifying overused keywords when optimizing content for SEO or improving writing variety
• Estimating podcast script or speech duration by checking the speak-time calculation

How to Use

1. Paste or type your text into the Input Text area — stats update live as you type
2. Check the stat cards at the top for word count, character count, sentences, paragraphs, and reading/speaking time
3. Review the Readability panel for Flesch score, average word length, and lexical density
4. Toggle "Filter stop words" in the Top Keywords panel to focus on meaningful terms

Frequently Asked Questions

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is based on a silent reading speed of 238 words per minute — the average adult reading rate established by academic research. Speaking time uses 130 WPM, a typical presentation pace. Both are estimates; actual times vary by individual.

What does the Flesch Reading Ease score mean?

The Flesch Reading Ease score (0–100) measures how easy text is to read. Scores above 70 indicate easy reading suitable for general audiences; 50–70 is standard (8th–10th grade); below 30 is academic or professional-level writing. The formula weighs average sentence length and average syllables per word.

Is my text stored or sent anywhere?

No. Every calculation happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to any server, logged, or stored. You can safely analyze confidential documents, internal drafts, or sensitive writing.
