Text Statistics and Readability Analyzer
Go beyond a simple word count: this analyzer reports characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, average sentence length, and a Flesch reading-ease score that estimates how difficult your writing is to read.
Step-by-step guide to the Text Statistics
- Paste your text into the analysis box.
- Statistics update live as the content changes.
- Review counts plus readability and average sentence figures.
- Edit the text and watch the readability score respond.
Practical scenarios for the Text Statistics
- Tuning blog or documentation readability toward a target audience.
- Checking that technical writing is not drifting into dense sentence structures.
- Comparing readability across drafts of the same article.
- Gathering quick metrics for school or academic writing assignments.
How the Text Statistics works under the hood
The Flesch reading-ease calculation uses the classic formula based on words per sentence and syllables per word, mapping results onto a 0-100 scale where higher scores indicate easier reading. Syllables are estimated with a vowel-group heuristic, a standard approximation that keeps the analysis instant for long documents. Every metric is computed in your browser, so unpublished text never leaves your machine.
What the Text Statistics does not do
Syllable estimation is approximate for English and does not apply to other languages, so treat the reading-ease score as guidance rather than a precise grade.
Common questions about the Text Statistics
What is a good Flesch reading-ease score?
Most general-audience writing aims between 60 and 70; technical content often sits lower.
Does it work for languages other than English?
Counts are accurate for any text, but the readability formula assumes English syllable patterns.
Is my writing uploaded for analysis?
No, all statistics are computed locally in your browser.
