About this tool
What does it measure?
Character, word, sentence and paragraph counts, reading time, average word length, keyword density and readability hints — the numbers writers, translators, students and SEO editors actually need.
How to use it
- Paste text; metrics update live as you type.
- Watch reading time and density while drafting.
- Use word targets for essays, abstracts and meta descriptions.
Examples
- Cutting a 400-word abstract to a 200-word limit.
- Checking that a meta description fits ~155 characters.
- Estimating translation cost from word counts.
Important limitations
- “Word” definitions vary (hyphenation, CJK scripts) — counts are approximate across languages.
- Readability scores are rough guides, not quality judgments.
- Keyword density is a diagnostic, not a ranking strategy.
Privacy
Counting happens locally. Manuscripts and drafts never leave your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Characters with or without spaces?
Both are shown — use “without spaces” for strict limits, “with” for layout.
How accurate is reading time?
Based on ~200–250 wpm average; technical text reads slower.
Does it work for Turkish/German?
Counts work; hyphenation and compound-word rules differ — treat as estimates.
