Word Counter & Text Analyzer

This Word Counter and Text Analyzer updates live as you type or paste text, so writers, students, and editors can keep an eye on length and structure without running a separate check. It reports word count, character count both with and without spaces, sentence count, paragraph count, and average word length, alongside an estimated reading time (based on a 200 words-per-minute benchmark) and speaking time (based on 130 words per minute) for scripts or presentations. A keyword frequency table shows which words repeat most often in your text, which is useful for spotting overused words or checking keyword density for SEO writing. Everything is calculated locally in your browser as you edit — your text is never uploaded or stored anywhere.

Features

• Real-time word and character counts as you type or paste
• Character counts shown both with and without spaces
• Sentence count, paragraph count, and average word length
• Estimated reading time (200 wpm) and speaking time (130 wpm)
• Keyword frequency table with percentages
• Copy, clear, and load-sample-text buttons for quick testing

• •If you need an exact essay or assignment word count, paste the final version rather than typing directly, since autocorrect or browser extensions can sometimes alter pasted vs. typed text slightly.
• •Hyphenated words like "state-of-the-art" count as a single word, which can throw off manual counts if you're cross-checking by hand.
• •Reading time is only an estimate based on an average adult reading speed — technical or dense text will usually take longer to read than the number shown.
• •Use the keyword frequency table to catch words you've accidentally overused before finalizing an article or essay.

Text Analysis Benchmarks

Standard industry reading and speaking rate benchmarks used for the time estimates.
