Count words, characters, sentences and pages as you type, with reading level, reading and speaking time, keyword density, writing goals and read-aloud.
Type or paste text into the editor and the counts update on every keystroke: words, unique words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, lines, syllables and pages. The Details panel adds the longest, shortest and average sentence, average word length and a publisher's word count (one word per six characters). Reading level uses the Flesch reading ease score and the Flesch-Kincaid grade, and the time estimates assume 200 words per minute for reading, 130 for speaking and 13 for handwriting.
Keyword density lists your ten most used words, skipping filler words like "the" and "and", or the 2, 3 and 4-word phrases you repeat. Sentence flow shades each sentence by length and scores how much your sentence lengths vary. You can also set a goal for words, characters, sentences or paragraphs, time your typing speed, find and replace with a whole-word option, clean pasted text, change case, have the text read aloud and dictate with your microphone where the browser supports it. Your text is saved in this browser only; nothing is uploaded.
Any run of characters between spaces or line breaks is one word, so "e-mail" and "2026" each count once. This matches how most word processors count.
It is the Flesch-Kincaid grade: roughly the US school grade a reader needs to follow the text on first reading. It is calculated from average sentence length and syllables per word, so it is an estimate, and syllables are counted with an English-language rule.
