Analysis Metrics Explained

Our word count tool provides detailed analysis including word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, average word length, longest word, reading time (based on 200 words per minute), speaking time (based on 150 words per minute), unique word count, and top 10 most frequent words after removing common stopwords.

How Does Text Analysis Work?

Text analysis involves processing your content to extract meaningful statistics. The tool counts words by splitting text on whitespace, identifies sentences using punctuation marks, detects paragraphs by double line breaks, calculates character counts including and excluding spaces, determines reading and speaking times based on average reading/speaking speeds, and analyzes word frequency while filtering out common stopwords to provide meaningful insights about your content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this tool for free?

Absolutely! All features are 100% free and available to everyone.

What types of text can I analyze?

You can analyze any type of text including essays, articles, blog posts, documents, social media content, and more. The tool works with plain text in any language.

How accurate are the reading and speaking time estimates?

Reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, while speaking time uses 150 words per minute. These are general estimates and actual times may vary based on content complexity and individual reading/speaking speed.

What are stopwords and why are they excluded?

Stopwords are common words like "the", "a", "and", "is", etc. that appear frequently but don't carry much meaning. We exclude them from the frequent words analysis to show you the most meaningful and content-specific words in your text.
