Text analysis tools
Seven counters and checkers for the questions writers ask most: how long is this, how long will it take to read, and which words am I leaning on too much? Paste your text into any of them and the numbers update as you type. Nothing is uploaded, so drafts, contracts and private notes stay on your device.
Which tool should I use?
- Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs as you type.
Use it when: You have a word limit for an essay, an article or an application and want the quickest answer.
- Character Counter
Count characters with and without spaces, plus code points and bytes.
Use it when: A form, an SMS, a meta description or a database column limits characters, or you need the size of the text in UTF-8 bytes.
- Sentence Counter
Count the sentences in any text and see the average sentence length.
Use it when: An assignment asks for a number of sentences, or you want to check whether your sentences run too long.
- Paragraph Counter
Count paragraphs and see how long each one is.
Use it when: A brief requires a set number of paragraphs, or you suspect that one section is a wall of text.
- Reading Time Calculator
Estimate how long your text takes to read or speak.
Use it when: You are timing a speech, a video script or a blog post and need both a reading and a speaking estimate.
- Text Statistics
Every count and average for your text in one table.
Use it when: You want every measure at once, in one table, instead of opening several tools one after the other.
- Keyword Density Checker
Find the words and phrases you use most, with density percentages.
Use it when: You are editing copy for style or for search and want to see which words and phrases come back most often.
What these tools have in common
All seven tools count with Unicode rules instead of naive splitting. A family emoji such as 👨👩👧 counts as one character, accented letters are never torn apart, and Chinese or Japanese text is not treated as one giant word. Each tool page spells out its exact counting rules and their limits.
The tools share one counting engine, so the same text gives the same numbers everywhere: the word count in the Word Counter is the one used by Text Statistics and by the Reading Time Calculator. If two figures ever disagree, the cause is a different setting, such as another reading speed, not a different method.
