Understanding Text Statistics

Word Count

Word count is the total number of words in your text. Our tool uses intelligent word detection that properly handles contractions, hyphenated words, and various punctuation marks to provide accurate word counts that match industry standards.

Character Count

We provide both character count with spaces and without spaces. Character count with spaces includes all letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces, while character count without spaces excludes all whitespace characters. This is useful for platforms with character limits like Twitter or SMS.

Paragraph and Sentence Count

Paragraph count helps you understand the structure of your text and ensure proper formatting. Sentence count, combined with word count, helps analyze readability and writing complexity. Our tool accurately detects sentence boundaries even with complex punctuation.

Reading Time Estimation

Reading time is calculated based on the average reading speed of 200-250 words per minute for adults. This helps content creators estimate how long it will take readers to consume their content, which is valuable for planning and user experience optimization.
