CONTENT ANALYZER. WORD COUNTER.
A real-time text audit engine — counts words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time the instant you type. No sign-up. No server. Zero data leak.
Type or paste your text — the engine scans every character in real time. No button press needed. Word splits, sentence breaks, paragraph boundaries, and reading speed are all computed on the fly.
Essays, SEO articles, social media captions, resumes, legal filings, academic abstracts, and translation projects. Any text with a length requirement becomes a target this tool can precisely exploit.
All analysis runs in your browser via JavaScript — no text is ever transmitted to any server. Sensitive documents, legal content, and confidential writing stay completely private on your device.
You type or paste directly into the terminal. The engine supports any language, any format, and any source — Word, Google Docs, PDFs, emails, web pages. All text accepted.
Every keystroke fires an input event listener. No submit button, no delay. Analysis re-executes on every character change — add or delete a word and all six metrics update instantly.
The text string is trimmed, split by any whitespace sequence (spaces, tabs, line breaks), and empty segments are filtered. The surviving array length is the true word count.
Total characters: direct string length including all spaces and punctuation. No-spaces count: whitespace stripped before measuring — used by platforms that exclude spaces from limits.
Text is split on terminal punctuation marks (. ! ?) using regex. Empty or whitespace-only segments are purged. The remaining count represents detected sentence nodes.
Double line breaks (with optional whitespace between) signal paragraph boundaries. Text with no double breaks but content present is counted as one paragraph — no false zeros.
Word count divided by 225 words per minute (average adult reading speed). Result is rounded up to the nearest minute. Zero words returns zero — no phantom read times.
Every algorithm runs inside your browser's JavaScript engine. No API calls, no server requests, no logging. Your text is processed and discarded entirely in memory.

- Academic Writing: Meet strict word or character limits on essays, theses, and abstracts set by universities and publishers. Avoid automatic rejections from over-limit submissions.
- SEO Content: Craft meta descriptions (under 160 characters), title tags (under 60 characters), and blog posts optimized for target word counts that rank on search engines.
- Social Media: Draft posts for Twitter/X (280-character limit), LinkedIn articles, Instagram captions, and SMS campaigns while hitting — not exceeding — every platform limit.
- Professional Documents: Meet precise specifications for resumes, cover letters, executive summaries, and legal filings where exceeding limits can disqualify a submission.
- Translation Projects: Establish source word count for accurate cost estimation and project scoping before sending to translators or localization agencies.
- Content Planning: Use reading time estimates to schedule consumption — publishing 7-minute articles for deep-read audiences, 2-minute pieces for high-volume traffic.
The primary metric for most writing requirements. Academic papers, publisher submissions, and grant applications all specify word limits. Ideal blog length typically runs 1,000–2,500 words depending on topic depth and target audience.
Critical for platforms with hard character limits. Twitter/X enforces 280 characters. Meta descriptions perform best at under 160 characters. SMS messages truncate at 160. The no-spaces count applies to academic and publishing contexts that exclude spaces from their limits.
A proxy for sentence complexity. High sentence counts with low word counts indicate short, punchy writing — good for web content. Low sentence counts with high word counts suggest dense, academic prose. Adjust for your target audience's reading level.
Reflects document structure and visual scannability. More paragraphs = shorter blocks = easier to skim online. Fewer paragraphs = longer blocks = better for formal documents. Web content typically benefits from paragraphs under 4 sentences for readability.
Estimates how long a reader spends on your content at 225 WPM average speed. Articles between 3–7 minutes typically perform best for retention. Label your articles with read time — research shows it increases click-through and reduces bounce rates.
Combine metrics for quality assessment. A healthy ratio of sentences to paragraphs suggests good structure. Low characters-per-word indicates accessible vocabulary. High word count with low paragraph count means walls of text — break it up for web audiences.
