Use this result well

Inputs that matter
Text typed, pasted or imported from a plain text file; up to 500,000 UTF-16 code units.
Output to expect
Named Unicode counts, word frequencies and timing estimates, with English readability and a publishing-field comparison where shown.
How it works
Analysis updates as you edit; larger drafts run in a cancellable background task. Reading uses 238 words per minute and speaking uses 150.
  • Character counts distinguish UTF-16 units, Unicode code points and visible character groups. Use the measure required by your destination.
  • Word and sentence boundaries can vary by language and browser. English syllable and readability estimates do not judge accuracy or suitability for your audience.
  • Select a publishing field for its named character or byte comparison. An SEO writing budget is your own editing target.

Reference & details

How it works

Text Processing Algorithm

The Paragraph Counter scans input in a single pass using Unicode-aware string operations. Grapheme clusters, line breaks, and whitespace rules follow Unicode Standard Annex #29.

Pattern Matching

Regular expressions and delimiter rules identify tokens, words, sentences, or custom patterns. Case sensitivity and locale options are applied before counting or transforming.

Output Formatting

Processed text is emitted with preserved or normalized line endings as selected. Copy-to-clipboard output matches the on-screen result exactly.
