Paste any text and get instant word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts, plus reading time and two standard text-analysis formula scores. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Live highlighter of longer sentences in your text.
Live as you type.
Two standard formula scores. Both use characters per word and sentence length.
Coleman-Liau and ARI both output a single number from their respective formulas. They use characters per word and sentence length (no syllable counting). Created in 1975 and 1967 respectively, both are still in active use.
It's a calculator. Paste any text and it returns counts, a reading-time estimate, and the output of six standard text-analysis formulas. The tool reports numbers; it doesn't judge whether the text is good or bad.
Paste or type any text (blog post, email, essay, transcript). Stats update live with every keystroke. The toolbar buttons paste from clipboard, clear, or load a sample.
A live preview of your text with longer sentences color-coded: yellow for sentences with 20+ words, red for sentences with 30+ words.
The core counts. Words are whitespace-separated tokens. Characters includes spaces; "Chars (no spaces)" excludes them. Sentences split on . ! ?. Paragraphs split on blank lines.
Words divided by 225 (a common publishing convention). Real reading speed varies from 150 to 300+ words per minute, so the estimate is a ballpark.
A 1975 formula that uses characters per word and sentences per 100 words. Computer-friendly because it doesn't require syllable counting.
A 1967 formula based on characters per word and words per sentence. Like Coleman-Liau, it uses character counts instead of syllable counts.
Word and character counts are within 1–3% of typical word processors (differences come from how each tool handles hyphenated terms, URLs, and contractions). Sentence count may miscount around abbreviations like "Dr."
Word processors and this tool use slightly different tokenizers; what counts as one "word" varies for hyphenated terms, URLs, and contractions. Differences of 1–3% are normal.
