Text Statistics
Go beyond basic word and character counts with our Advanced Text Statistics dashboard. Instantly calculate estimated reading time based on industry-standard 225 words per minute and speaking time at 150 words per minute. Analyze unique word density to measure vocabulary richness, see a ranked breakdown of the most frequently used words, and evaluate sentence complexity metrics including average words per sentence and syllable counts. Also shows character-level breakdowns: vowels, consonants, digits, spaces, and punctuation. Essential for public speakers timing their presentations, bloggers optimizing for readability, SEO content strategists analyzing keyword density, and translators estimating project scope. Every metric updates live as you type, so trimming a paragraph instantly shows the new reading time. The frequency table highlights repeated terms that may signal padding or thin content, and syllable totals feed the complexity stats without any manual counting. Everything is calculated locally in your browser, so scripts, speeches, and client copy are analyzed privately, even for very large documents.

Questions People Ask
Honest answers about how this works.
How is reading time calculated?
We use an industry-standard average of 225 words per minute for reading and 150 words per minute for speaking. The tool multiplies your word count by those rates, so the estimate is a reliable planning figure rather than a guarantee for every reader.
Does my text leave the browser?
No. Text Statistics computes every metric locally with JavaScript running in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored, which means speeches, essays, and confidential client copy can be analyzed without ever leaving your own device at any point during the session.
How is unique word percentage useful?
Unique word percentage divides distinct words by total words to show vocabulary variety. A low score often means heavy repetition, while a very high score can flag dense, technical writing. Comparing drafts before and after edits makes the change easy to spot.
