Examples
Input: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The dog barks at the fox. The fox runs away quickly."
This yields word/sentence/paragraph counts, reading and speaking time estimates, and a frequency table where "the," "fox," and "dog" rise to the top after stop words like "the" are filtered.
Common Use Cases
- Estimating how long an article or speech will take to read or deliver
- Checking word/character counts against a limit (essays, tweets, meta descriptions)
- Spotting overused words in a draft before editing
- Quick readability and length sanity-checks for blog posts or scripts
Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, a commonly used average adult silent-reading speed: word count divided by 200, rounded up to the nearest minute.
How is speaking time calculated?
Speaking time is estimated at 130 words per minute, a typical spoken-presentation pace: word count divided by 130, rounded up to the nearest minute.
How are sentences and paragraphs counted?
Sentences are counted by splitting on ., !, and ? followed by whitespace or end of text. Paragraphs are counted as blocks of text separated by one or more blank lines.
What are "stop words" and why are they filtered?
Stop words are extremely common words (like "the," "is," "and," "of") that appear in almost any text and don't carry much distinguishing meaning. They're excluded from the Top 10 frequency table so the list highlights more meaningful, content-carrying words instead.
Is word frequency case-sensitive?
No, words are lowercased before counting, so "Fox" and "fox" are counted as the same word.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No, all analysis happens locally in your browser using plain JavaScript string processing. Nothing is sent to a server.
