How it works

Three steps, nothing more.

  1. Step 01

    Paste your text, or open the TXT, Markdown or PDF file that holds it.

  2. Step 02

    Words, characters, sentences and readability follow every keystroke.

  3. Step 03

    Copy the statistics, or download them as CSV or TXT.

What sets it apart

Built for the result.

Readability in the text's own language

Flesch and Flesch-Kincaid for English, Kandel and Moles for French: the language is recognised, can be corrected in one click, and each score says what it measures — the length of sentences and words, not meaning.

02

The words that keep coming back

The ten most frequent words and their share of the text, without the small words that clutter it: enough to spot a repetition or check where a keyword stands.

Accepted formats

Drop them as they are, no conversion needed first.

Privacy

Where your data is processed

With this tool, what you paste or drop is not transmitted anywhere: not to us, not to any third party. We know neither its contents nor the file name.

Nothing is kept, because nothing reaches us.

As in a word processor: "don't" and "well-known" are one word, a number is one, punctuation is none. Chinese and Japanese, written without spaces, are split into words. Characters are counted as you see them: an accented letter or an emoji counts as one.
