Our free Word Counter & Text Analyzer gives you instant, detailed statistics about any text you type or paste. Whether you are writing a blog post, crafting a social media caption, or preparing a college essay, knowing your word count, character count, and readability score helps you stay within limits and improve clarity.
Simply paste your text into the box above and every metric updates in real time. The stats grid shows words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, estimated reading time at 200 words per minute, and speaking time at 130 words per minute. These benchmarks match industry standards used by editors and content strategists.
The keyword analysis extracts your top ten most-used words (excluding common stop words) so you can check keyword density for SEO. The social media section shows how your text length compares against Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and meta description character limits, making it easy to trim or expand content for each platform.
The readability score uses the Flesch Reading Ease formula. A score between 60 and 70 is considered ideal for general audiences. Higher scores mean easier reading, while lower scores suggest more complex language. All processing happens in your browser, so your text stays private.
Reading time is calculated by dividing the total word count by 200, which is the average adult silent reading speed in words per minute. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute, reflecting a comfortable speaking pace.
The Flesch Reading Ease score measures how easy your text is to read. Scores range from 0 to 100. A score of 60-70 is ideal for general web content. Higher scores indicate simpler text, while lower scores indicate more complex, academic writing.
No. All analysis happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device and nothing is saved or transmitted.
Stop words are common words like "the", "and", "is", "in", "to", "a", etc. that are excluded from keyword analysis because they do not carry meaningful topic information. This lets you focus on the words that actually define your content.
We build CMS platforms, blog engines, and content tools with powerful text analysis and SEO optimization built in.
