ā„¹ļø What is Text Analyzer?

A text analyzer calculates statistics about a piece of text — word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, average words per sentence, and estimated reading time. It is used by writers, students, SEO professionals, and content creators.

šŸ“ Formula

Reading Time = Word Count / 238 words/min (average adult reading speed)
Words— Count of space-separated tokens
Characters— Total character count (spaces included or excluded)
Sentences— Count of sentence-ending punctuation (.!?)
Reading Time— Word count / average reading speed (200–250 wpm)

āœļø Worked Example

Sample text: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. It was a wonderful day.
  1. 1Word count: 14 words
  2. 2Characters (with spaces): 67
  3. 3Characters (no spaces): 54
  4. 4Sentences: 2
  5. 5Avg words/sentence: 14/2 = 7
  6. 6Reading time: 14/238 ā‰ˆ 3.5 seconds
āœ… Result: Words: 14 | Chars: 67 | Sentences: 2 | Reading time: ~3 sec
