Text Counter

Text Counter

Text Counter supports counts for characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, reading time, and word frequency, with multilingual detection and complexity analysis for SEO checks, summary limits, and writing review.

Text Counter

Quick Start

1
Paste or type the text you need to analyze. Spaces and line breaks are supported
2
Statistics update instantly: characters, words, paragraphs, reading/speaking time, and more
3
Switch among the "Word Frequency", "Characters", and "Complexity" tabs to inspect each dimension
4
Copy any statistic, and capture a screenshot if you need to preserve the current view

Common Scenarios

Social platform limits

verify character and line counts before posting

Titles/Excerpts/SEO

keep titles and summaries short to avoid SERP truncation

App store/submission forms

validate description and keyword length to avoid rejections

Commit messages/PR descriptions

constrain characters/paragraphs to improve review readability

Subtitles/Voiceover scripts

use reading/speaking time to estimate final runtime

Blogs/Marketing

review top words and lexical diversity to optimize keyword density

Papers/Reports

adjust tone and length using average sentence length and complexity

Translation & localization

compare lengths across languages to prevent UI overflow

Extended workflow

character limit checker, seo character count, and meta description length can be handled in the same review flow, so you can verify results before copying or exporting.

Metrics & Counting Rules

Estimated from the primary language’s average reading speed; for reference only
Estimated with a typical speaking pace (about 130–150 wpm)
Detects the primary language by character ratios; mixed text shows overall proportions only
Counts top words and their share; for CJK languages without spaces, prefer the ‘Characters’ view
Counts character occurrences and ratios; suitable for languages without clear word boundaries (e.g., CJK)
Rates difficulty from sentence length, word length, and lexical diversity; an approximation

Usage Advice

Social posts: watch the character count and line breaks to stay within platform limits
Long-form writing: review paragraphs and average sentence length to polish rhythm and readability
SEO/marketing: inspect top words and lexical diversity to avoid keyword stuffing
Translation review: compare word or character frequency to catch semantic differences
Academic/reporting: use complexity and lexical diversity to gauge the level of formality

Limitations & Compatibility

Word frequency works best for languages with clear word boundaries; for languages without explicit boundaries (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Korean), prefer the "Characters" tab
Large inputs are processed progressively, so the first load or tab switch can take a moment
Mixed-language text returns combined metrics only; reading time per language isn’t available

Privacy & Security

All processing happens locally in your browser. You can replace, clear, and re-run the current content at any time.
