How to use this tool

  1. Paste or type your text into the editor.
  2. Read the word, character and sentence counts and the reading-time estimate.
  3. Use the counts to check your brief or platform limits, then revise the text as needed.

Example and use case

Hello world contains two words. Punctuation, whitespace and language-specific segmentation can affect counts in longer text.

Limitations to check

Reading time is an estimate. Word segmentation and character limits vary between languages and platforms. Keyword frequency is a descriptive statistic; there is no universal density that guarantees a search ranking.

Processing and privacy

The tool's browser code handles entered text or selected files locally. Optional URL imports and external resources can make network requests. This website also uses third-party scripts, including analytics and advertising. Read the privacy policy and use sample data when testing sensitive workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Will this match every publishing platform's count?

Not necessarily. Platforms differ in how they count emoji, combining characters, whitespace and words in different languages.

Does keyword density improve rankings?

The tool reports frequency, not SEO performance. Write for the reader's task and avoid repeating keywords unnaturally.

Is reading time exact?

No. It uses an assumed reading pace; content complexity and individual reading speed vary.
