Tips for Best Results
- Aim for scannability. Short sentences + frequent paragraph breaks improve reading speed and retention.
- Use “Top Words” as a mirror. If brand terms or key phrases are missing (or overused), adjust.
- Estimate read time for layout. If a section runs long, split or summarize.
- Mind whitespace. A high whitespace count with low words often means excess line breaks or spacing.
How It Works
Everything runs client-side:
- Grapheme-aware character count. Uses
Intl.Segmenterwhen available to handle emojis and complex scripts accurately; falls back gracefully otherwise. - Word detection. Unicode-friendly regex (letters + numbers + common apostrophes) to count words reliably.
- Sentence estimation. Protects common abbreviations (e.g., “Dr.”, “e.g.”) before splitting on
. ! ? …. - Paragraphs. Splits on blank lines with sensible trimming.
- Reading time. Calculates minutes from words at ~200 wpm, rounded to two decimals.
- Top Words. Lowercases, tallies, sorts, and shows the top 10 by frequency.
