Use this result well

Inputs that matter
Text typed, pasted or imported from a plain text file; up to 500,000 UTF-16 code units.
Output to expect
Named Unicode counts, word frequencies and timing estimates, with English readability and a publishing-field comparison where shown.
How it works
Analysis updates as you edit; larger drafts run in a cancellable background task. Reading uses 238 words per minute and speaking uses 150.
  • Character counts distinguish UTF-16 units, Unicode code points and visible character groups. Use the measure required by your destination.
  • Word and sentence boundaries can vary by language and browser. English syllable and readability estimates do not judge accuracy or suitability for your audience.
  • Select a publishing field for its named character or byte comparison. An SEO writing budget is your own editing target.
