How Online Text Analysis Tools works
The analyzer identifies letter and number words, segments English sentences, and counts paragraphs from nonempty blocks separated by blank lines.
The result puts the counts together so you can inspect the structure of one passage. It measures text, rather than checking grammar or judging whether the writing is good.
An empty passage or a passage with no letter or number word is rejected.
How to use Online Text Analysis Tools
Paste the actual text you want to measure, including the breaks between lines and paragraphs.
Keep the passage structure
Paste the passage into Text to analyze, including meaningful line breaks and blank lines. Analyze the same document portion each time when comparing revisions, and remove unrelated clipboard material first.
Text to analyze
Analyze the passage
Run the analysis and read the main word total. The result also displays characters, non-space characters, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and words per sentence so you can inspect one defined passage.

Review the counting conventions
Read the English-segmentation note alongside the totals. Blank lines affect paragraphs, and Unicode code points affect characters. Record the counts before replacing the input; this screen does not save a revision history.

When to use Online Text Analysis Tools
These counts help answer a defined editing question before you decide what to change.
Check a character limit for a form
Use the character count when a form or submission has a length allowance. Confirm how that destination counts characters: this tool counts Unicode code points, and another system may count bytes or use a different treatment of emoji.
Review paragraph distribution
Paste a draft to see how many nonempty paragraph blocks it contains. Combine that result with a read of the actual paragraphs when checking a dense introduction or a section that has been split into many short blocks.
Describe a text sample
Record word, sentence, and line counts alongside a sample used in an editing exercise. Keep the original sample available so someone else can see what was counted, especially when headings, lists, or trailing line breaks affect the totals.
What the text counts describe
Use the counts to describe the passage, then consider how punctuation and paragraph breaks affect them.
Sentence segmentation uses English conventions. Abbreviations and unusual punctuation can affect the result, so inspect the text before treating a sentence total as a precise description of its grammar.
A word here is a sequence of letters or numbers. Chinese and Japanese passages are not separated into individual words by this counter. A count is not a readability score or a quality assessment.
Check unexpected text counts
A useful count starts with the intended passage rather than stray clipboard text or an incomplete selection.
An empty passage or a passage with no letter or number word is rejected. Remove accidental clipboard content and keep the input within 100000 characters before submitting again.
If line or paragraph totals surprise you, check invisible trailing newlines and blank lines. For a repeated term question, use a frequency counter rather than inferring repetition from the overall word total.

Online Text Analysis Tools: common questions
Answers about using Online Text Analysis Tools and understanding its results.
How are paragraphs counted?
Nonempty blocks separated by blank lines count as paragraphs.
Does it evaluate grammar?
No. It counts text structure and does not make a grammar or quality judgment.
Can the tool compare saved drafts?
It analyzes one pasted passage at a time. Record the totals before replacing the input if you want to compare a revision.
Why can emoji counts differ from another form?
Characters are counted as Unicode code points. A destination may instead count bytes, UTF-16 units, or displayed graphemes.
