Notes
Limitations to know
- Sentence detection uses punctuation separators and is not language-aware.
- Words use Unicode letters and numbers with apostrophes or hyphens, so URLs, emoji, and unusual punctuation can affect totals.
- Reading time is an estimate, with a minimum displayed value of one minute.
- The tool does not calculate a formal readability score or assess writing quality.
- Grammar, spelling, plagiarism, keyword strategy, sentiment, and AI analysis are not included.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are spaces included in the character count?
The report shows both total characters and characters with all whitespace removed.
How are words counted?
Words are matched from Unicode letters or numbers and may include apostrophes and hyphens. Specialized tokenization is not used.
Does it count sentences and paragraphs?
Yes. Sentences are estimated from full stops, exclamation marks, and question marks; paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
How is reading time estimated?
The word count is divided by an assumed reading speed of about 200 words per minute and rounded up.
Does Text Analyzer calculate readability?
No. It does not implement Flesch or another readability formula.
Does it support non-English text and emoji?
Unicode letters and numbers are counted as words, but language-specific rules are not applied. Emoji count as characters rather than words.
