About the Text Statistics
Counts words, characters, sentences and paragraphs, estimates reading time, and scores readability so you can see roughly how demanding a piece of writing is.
When you would use it
- Checking a piece of writing against a length limit.
- Estimating how long something takes to read.
- Seeing whether a draft is denser than you intended.
What it does not tell you
Readability scores are crude: they count syllables and sentence lengths, and they cannot tell clear writing from nonsense with short words. A good score is not a sign of good writing, and technical text scores badly for reasons that are not faults. Character counts also differ between tools depending on how emoji and accented characters are counted. Nothing is uploaded.
