Target Metrics: - Word count: 800-2,000 words - Reading time: 3-8 minutes   - Readability: "Fairly Easy" to "Standard" - Average sentence length: 15-20 words - Paragraphs: 50-100 words each  Analysis Results: ✅ Word count: 1,245 words ✅ Reading time: 6 minutes   ⚠️ Difficulty: "Fairly Difficult" 💡 Recommendation: Shorter sentences

Social Media Content

Optimize posts for different platform requirements.

Platform Limits: - Twitter: 280 characters - LinkedIn: 3,000 characters   - Facebook: 63,206 characters - Instagram: 2,200 characters  Content Analysis: Characters: 145 (within Twitter limit ✅) Words: 28 Hashtags detected: 3 Mentions detected: 1 Engagement prediction: High

    Examples

    Count repeated words and sentences

    Input
    Hello world. Hello DevTools!
    Output
    characters: 28
    characters without spaces: 25
    words: 4
    unique words: 3
    sentences: 2
    paragraphs: 1
    lines: 1
    most frequent: hello
    frequency: {"hello":2,"world":1,"devtools":1}
    byte size: 28

    Punctuation ends the two sentences and is replaced before the lowercased word-frequency count is built.

    Detect paragraphs and empty lines

    Input
    One line
    
    Second line.
    Output
    characters: 22
    characters without spaces: 18
    words: 4
    unique words: 3
    sentences: 1
    paragraphs: 2
    lines: 3
    most frequent: line
    frequency: {"line":2,"one":1,"second":1}
    byte size: 22

    A blank line creates two paragraphs and three lines, while only the final period creates a sentence boundary.

    Inspect UTF-8 text with the ASCII-oriented word parser

    Input
    Café 😀
    Output
    characters: 7
    characters without spaces: 6
    words: 1
    unique words: 1
    sentences: 1
    paragraphs: 1
    lines: 1
    most frequent: caf
    frequency: {"caf":1}
    byte size: 10

    JavaScript string length counts the emoji as two UTF-16 code units, UTF-8 requires 10 bytes, and the parser drops the accented é and emoji from word metrics.

    About this tool

    Text Statistics Analyzer turns pasted or uploaded text into a detailed report covering characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, word frequency, readability, and encoding. It separates counts such as letters, numbers, punctuation, whitespace, and line breaks, then reports structural averages alongside longest, shortest, and most frequent words.

    The analyzer estimates reading time at 200 words per minute and uses a vowel-group heuristic to calculate Flesch Reading Ease and a grade-level label. Advanced controls can exclude numeric-only tokens or common English words and can require a minimum word length. Results can be copied as JSON or downloaded with the selected options and analysis timestamp.

    Analysis runs in the browser. The word parser lowercases text and replaces non-word punctuation before counting, so its results follow JavaScript's ASCII-oriented \w behavior rather than a language-aware tokenizer; accented letters and many non-Latin scripts may therefore be split or omitted from word metrics even though their characters and UTF-8 byte size are still counted.

    How to use

    1. Enter or upload text

      Paste text into the editor, load one of the four samples, or upload a .txt, .md, or .csv file.

    2. Choose analysis options

      Open Analysis Options to include or exclude numeric-only tokens, remove common English words, or set a minimum word length from one to four characters.

    3. Analyze the text

      Click Analyze Text, then use Overview for headline counts and readability, Frequency for repeated words, and Detailed for line, paragraph, encoding, and ratio data.

    4. Export the report

      Copy the statistics as formatted JSON or download a JSON file containing the statistics, options, timestamp, and a preview of the input.

    Use cases

    Review technical documentation

    Check README or API documentation length, paragraph structure, repeated terminology, estimated reading time, and readability before publishing.

    Audit editorial copy

    Compare word count, sentence length, vocabulary repetition, and reading difficulty across an article, email, or product page.

    Inspect text-file structure

    Upload a .txt, .md, or .csv file to spot unexpected blank lines, line breaks, Unicode content, emoji, or byte-size growth.

    Prepare machine-readable metrics

    Copy or download the JSON report to attach reproducible text measurements to a review or content workflow.

    Common mistakes

    Mistake:Treating the word count as language-aware for accented or non-Latin text.

    Fix:The parser uses JavaScript \w and is primarily ASCII-oriented. Use the character and byte metrics as shown, but verify word counts with a locale-aware tokenizer for multilingual text.

    Mistake:Assuming the case-sensitive switch changes frequency results.

    Fix:The current analyzer lowercases text before tokenization regardless of that switch, so Hello and hello are grouped together.

    Mistake:Reading the Flesch score as an exact linguistic assessment.

    Fix:Treat it as an estimate: syllables are inferred with a simple English heuristic, and short or specialized text can produce misleading scores.

    Mistake:Expecting uploaded formatting or the full source text in the download.

    Fix:Files are read as plain text, and the exported input preview is capped at 200 characters; retain the original file separately.
