Word Counter with Readability & Keyword Density

The "Characters" tile shows the count with spaces and "No Spaces" shows it without; both update as you type. Freelance writing marketplaces usually bill by characters without spaces, while social networks and technical limits count them with spaces.

Each CJK character is counted as one word, which matches the standard used by Microsoft Word and other word processors. Latin-script words are counted by whitespace separation as usual.

The formula is chosen from the language of the text itself, and its name is printed in the Readability panel. English uses classic Flesch-Kincaid, Russian and Ukrainian use the Oborneva adaptation (2006), German uses Amstad, Spanish uses Fernández Huerta, French uses Kandel-Moles. English coefficients applied to Russian produce nonsense, because Russian words average 3.29 syllables against 2.97 in English. Gunning Fog, SMOG, Coleman-Liau, ARI and LIX are shown alongside. For Arabic script no syllable-based index is shown at all — short vowels are not written, so syllables cannot be counted.

No hard limit. The tool handles texts of any size. For very large documents (over 100,000 characters), analysis updates may take slightly longer but still runs smoothly.

Reading time uses 238 words per minute (average adult silent reading speed). Speaking time uses 130 WPM (average speaking pace). Both are widely accepted benchmarks used by Medium, WordPress, and other platforms.

Yes. The keyword density panel shows your top 20 keywords with frequency and percentage. You can switch between 1-word, 2-word, and 3-word phrases. Combined with readability scores and meta description length checking, it covers key SEO content metrics.
