Browser-Based Tool

Text analysis is performed in your browser when supported. Results can vary depending on the language, punctuation, and formatting of the text.

How Text Metrics Are Estimated

The tool identifies words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs from the text you enter. Counts can vary slightly when text includes abbreviations, unusual punctuation, emojis, links, or mixed languages.

For English text, the readability score uses sentence length and an estimated syllable count. It is intended as a general guide rather than a final measure of writing quality.

Keyword frequency is calculated by finding repeated words after filtering common English words such as "the," "and," and "of." A repeated word is not automatically a problem; natural and useful writing should always remain the priority.

Writing Tips for Clear Content

Use words naturally and focus on answering the reader's question. Repeating the same phrase too often can make content harder to read.

Shorter sentences and clear paragraphs can make many types of writing easier to understand. Readability scores can be useful for reviewing English text, but they should not replace editing for clarity, accuracy, and audience needs.

Use keyword frequency as a review tool, not as a target. Good content should be useful, original, and written for people first.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does keyword frequency work?

The tool identifies repeated words in your text and can filter common English words such as "the," "and," and "of." It then shows frequently used words and their approximate percentage of the total word count.

What is Flesch Reading Ease?

Flesch Reading Ease is a readability formula commonly used for English writing. Higher scores generally indicate simpler sentence structure and words, while lower scores can indicate more complex writing. It is an estimate and may not be accurate for every type of text.

Does this tool work with languages other than English?

Basic counts such as characters, words, and paragraphs may work with many languages. However, syllable estimates, readability scores, sentence detection, and stopword filtering are mainly designed for English text.

Is my text private?

The tool is designed to process text in your browser. Avoid entering passwords, financial information, private keys, or other highly sensitive information into any online tool.

Why do word or sentence counts sometimes look different from another editor?

Different tools use different rules for abbreviations, hyphenated words, emojis, links, punctuation, and line breaks. Small differences in counts are normal.

How is reading time estimated?

Estimated reading time is based on an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute. Actual reading time can vary depending on the reader and the type of content.

Can I save my text?

You can copy your text or download it as a TXT file. Downloaded files are saved through your browser's normal download process.
