Analysis Details

Word Count

Counts all words in your text. If the same word appears multiple times, it is counted each time. Strings that don't contain alphanumeric characters or strings with only symbols are not counted.

Character Count

Counts the characters in your text in two ways:

  • Total characters including spaces: All characters in the text (including spaces, line breaks)
  • Pure character count without spaces: Only the characters that form the content

Line Count

Counts the lines in your text in two ways:

  • Total lines: All lines separated by line breaks
  • Non-empty lines: Only lines with actual content

Paragraph Count

The number of text blocks separated by blank lines (one or more consecutive empty lines). Paragraph analysis shows:

  • Total number of paragraphs
  • Average paragraph length (in words)
  • Average lines per paragraph

Sentence Count

The number of text units separated by periods (., !, ?, etc.). Sentence analysis shows:

  • Total number of sentences
  • Average sentence length (in words)
  • Unique word count (number of distinct words without duplicates)

Reading Time (min.)

The estimated time needed to read the English text. This is calculated based on an average reading speed of 300 words per minute. For short texts, a minimum of 1 minute is displayed.
