About Word Counter
This word counter goes beyond simple word counting. It analyzes your text to show word count, unique word count, character count, sentence and paragraph count, estimated reading time (at 200 words per minute) and speaking time (at 130 words per minute). The keyword frequency section shows the top words in your text along with their count and percentage density, helping writers optimize content for SEO or check for overused words.
FAQ
- How is reading time calculated?
- Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is the average silent reading speed for an adult. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute, which is typical for a speech or presentation pace.
- What are stop words and why are they excluded from the frequency list?
- Stop words are common words like 'the', 'a', 'and', 'is' that appear in almost every text and carry little meaning on their own. They are excluded from the frequency list so you can focus on the meaningful keywords in your content.
- How is keyword density calculated?
- Keyword density is the number of times a word appears divided by the total word count, expressed as a percentage. For example, if a word appears 10 times in a 200-word text, its density is 5%.
