How accurate is the word count?
Our word counter uses standard algorithms to identify words by looking for sequences of characters separated by spaces or punctuation. It accurately counts words in most languages that use space-delimited writing systems. For languages without word separators (like Chinese or Japanese), the count may be less accurate.
What are readability scores and why do they matter?
Readability scores measure how easy or difficult it is for someone to read and understand your text. They're calculated using formulas that consider factors like sentence length, word length, and syllable count. These scores are important for ensuring your content is accessible to your target audience. For example, content aimed at the general public should typically have a Flesch Reading Ease score between 60-70.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 225 words per minute for adults reading in English. This is a widely accepted average, though individual reading speeds can vary significantly based on factors like reading proficiency, content complexity, and language familiarity.
Can I use this tool for SEO content analysis?
Yes, this word counter tool is useful for SEO content analysis. It helps you monitor keyword density through the keyword analysis feature, ensure appropriate content length, and maintain readability standards that search engines favor. Well-structured, readable content tends to perform better in search rankings.
What file formats can I upload?
You can upload text files (.txt), Microsoft Word documents (.doc, .docx), PDF files (.pdf), and rich text format files (.rtf). For complex documents, some formatting may be lost during the text extraction process.
Is there a limit to how much text I can analyze?
The tool is designed to handle up to 100,000 words or approximately 500,000 characters. For extremely large documents, you may experience some performance slowdown, especially on mobile devices.
Is my text data secure?
Yes, all text processing happens directly in your browser. Your text is never sent to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security.
