Analyze text

About this tool

Paste text to count its words, sentences, and paragraphs, then view estimated reading and speaking times. Counts are based on text patterns and the time estimates use average reading and speaking speeds, so they are useful guides rather than precise measurements. Analysis runs locally in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Text Analyzer tool?

  Text Analyzer is a free online tool that analyzes pasted text and reports the number of words, sentences, and paragraphs it contains, along with an estimated reading time and speaking time.

• How is the word count calculated?

  Words are counted by splitting the text on whitespace, ignoring empty segments. This gives a simple and reliable approximation of the number of words in the text.

• How is the sentence count calculated?

  Sentences are detected by looking for sentence-ending punctuation marks such as periods, exclamation points, and question marks. Abbreviations or unusual punctuation may occasionally affect accuracy.

• How is the paragraph count calculated?

  Paragraphs are counted as blocks of text separated by one or more blank lines. Single line breaks within a block are not treated as separate paragraphs.

• How is the estimated reading time calculated?

  Reading time is estimated by dividing the total word count by an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute.

• How is the estimated speaking time calculated?

  Speaking time is estimated by dividing the total word count by an average speaking speed of 130 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute. This is useful for timing speeches, presentations, and voiceovers.
