Text Statistics

Paste an article draft to get word, sentence, and paragraph counts alongside Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level scores, useful for checking a piece is written at an appropriate reading level before publishing. Readability scoring depends on a syllable count, which this tool estimates heuristically from vowel groupings and common English spelling patterns (adjusting for things like a silent trailing "e"), rather than looking words up in a real pronunciation dictionary, so unusual names, abbreviations, and jargon can throw the estimate off. Raw counts like word and sentence totals work fine on any language, but the Flesch formulas themselves are calibrated specifically for English and won't mean much applied to other languages. A word-frequency list, with common stop words filtered out, is included too, which is a fast way to spot words you're leaning on too heavily.
