Text Analyzer
Comprehensive text analysis with word count, character count, reading time, and advanced statistics
1. What is text analysis?
Text analysis is the process of examining text to extract meaningful statistics and metrics. This tool provides both basic counts (characters, words, lines, paragraphs) and advanced linguistic metrics (vocabulary richness, word frequency, character distribution, readability measures) to help you understand and optimize your text.
2. How does it work?
This tool analyzes your text in real-time, providing comprehensive statistics from basic counts to advanced linguistic metrics. All calculations happen automatically as you type or paste text.
Basic Counts
- Character count (with and without spaces)
- Word count
- Line count
- Paragraph count
- Reading time (based on 200 words/minute)
Advanced Statistics
- Total and unique words
- Average word length
- Longest and shortest words
- Lexical density - measures vocabulary richness (unique/total words)
- Average sentence length - readability indicator
- Character frequency distribution - most common letters/numbers
Understanding Lexical Density
Lexical density is the ratio of unique words to total words, expressed as a percentage. Higher values (60-80%) indicate more varied vocabulary, while lower values suggest more repetitive text. It's a useful metric for analyzing writing style and complexity.
