Text Statistics

About this tool

Beyond a basic word count, this tool gives a full breakdown of any text: characters with and without spaces, sentence and paragraph counts, estimated reading time (at 200 words per minute) and speaking time (at 150 words per minute), average word length, the longest and shortest words used, and the five most frequently occurring words.

Common uses

Checking whether an essay, article, or social post fits a word or character limit, estimating how long a script will take to read aloud, or spotting overused words in a draft before editing.
