Word Count / Text Analyzer

Live stats as you type: words (whitespace-separated, optional case-insensitive folding), characters with/without spaces, sentences (. ! ?), paragraphs (blank-line breaks), lines, unique words, average word length, reading time (~200 wpm) and speaking time (~130 wpm), top 10 words with frequency bars, and keyword/phrase occurrence search. All client-side.

What does this word counter measure?

Paste any prose, notes, article draft, or transcript into the text area. The tool recomputes statistics on every change: total words (tokens split on whitespace after trimming ends), characters including spaces and with spaces stripped, rough sentence count by splitting on . ! ? sequences, paragraph count by blank-line separators, and line count by newline characters. It also reports how many distinct word forms appear, the average token length, and simple reading and speaking time estimates using fixed words-per-minute heuristics.

Top words and keyword density

The Top 10 words table ranks the most frequent tokens after your chosen casing mode (when case sensitivity is off, words are lowercased for counting so Hello and hello merge). Each row shows count and percent of all counted words plus a small bar chart. Keyword density lets you type a substring or phrase: with case sensitivity off the tool counts non-overlapping lowercase matches across the full text; with it on it counts occurrences of the exact substring via split segments.

Case sensitivity toggle

When Case sensitive word counting is enabled, words are counted as written for totals, uniqueness, and top-10. When disabled, words are lowercased before frequency analysis so capitalization variants collapse together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are words defined?

After trimming leading and trailing whitespace, the tool splits on any run of whitespace characters. Punctuation stays attached to the token (for example “end.” is one word). Hyphenated compounds count as one token unless spaces break them.

Are reading and speaking times accurate?

They are rough estimates only — 200 words per minute for silent reading and 130 for speaking. Actual speed varies by content difficulty, language, and audience.

Why might sentence count look wrong?

Sentences are inferred by splitting on . ! ? without a full natural-language parser. Abbreviations, decimals, and ellipses can add noise.

Does keyword search find overlapping matches?

Case-insensitive search advances by the full keyword length after each hit, so overlaps are not double-counted. Case-sensitive search uses string splits, which also do not count overlapping repeats.

Is the word count tool free?

Yes. No signup is required.

CSV ↔ JSON Converter

New

Switch CSV → JSON or JSON → CSV. RFC 4180–style CSV parsing (quoted fields, doubled quotes), delimiter choice for import (comma, semicolon, tab, pipe), optional header row or col1… keys, pretty or minified JSON, stats after convert. JSON → CSV needs a non-empty array of objects; union of keys becomes columns; output CSV uses commas. Upload .csv/.json, load examples, copy, or download output.json / output.csv — all client-side.
