Text Length Analyzer with Density
The full read-out: characters, words, lines, sentences, reading time, and density — average word and sentence length — in one report.
Overview
Sometimes you want every length metric at once, including the density numbers that hint at style: average word length and average sentence length. This loads multilingual text — where counts get interesting, because word and sentence boundaries differ across languages and CJK packs more meaning per character — and runs the complete analysis. Density is not a quality score; it is a structural fact (long words, long sentences) that the report surfaces honestly and leaves you to interpret.
How to use this resource
-
Paste any text
Including non-English — boundaries differ across languages.
-
Read the full metrics
Every length count in one report.
-
Note the density
Average word and sentence length as structural facts.
Why This Works
- One report carries every length metric, not just one number
- Density (average word and sentence length) is a structural fact, surfaced honestly
- Multilingual text shows how counts shift across languages
Best for
- A complete length and density read-out
- Multilingual or mixed-script text
- Anyone wanting every metric at once
Not for
- A clarity or readability judgment — density is not quality
- Token or cost figures — use the Token Counter
FAQ
What does average word length and average sentence length tell me about my text?
They are density figures — structural facts, not a quality score. This report surfaces 'Average word length: 7.3 characters' and 'Average sentence length: 6.7 words' alongside every other count, hinting at style (long words, long sentences) without judging it. The analyzer is explicit that density is not clarity, leaving the interpretation to you.
Do word and sentence counts work correctly for non-English or CJK text?
The report runs the full analysis on multilingual text and is honest that boundaries shift. Its NOTES flag that word and sentence boundaries differ across languages and 'CJK text packs more meaning per character', so counts move accordingly. You get every metric at once — characters, words, sentences, reading and speaking time — with that caveat surfaced rather than hidden.
