What is Text Analyzer?

Text Analyzer is not only an app for counting characters, words, lines but it offers more insight into the text. Using Text Analyzer you can view keyword density, reading time, speaking time and Machine Learning related metrics.

Metrics

Character Count

The number of characters in the text. To be precise, it is the number of bytes in the text.

Visible Length

It refers to the number of characters in the text but which are visible on the screen. Most characters require only 1 byte, so the character count and visible length are the same. However, when the text includes characters from other languages or emojis, these characters require more than one byte. In this case, the character count will be higher than the number of characters visible on the screen. Try it out by pasting this emoji 😊.

Word Count

The number of words in the text. Words are counted when a character is followed by a space, newline or punctuation marks.

Options

Count without space

When turned on, the space is not counted in character count and visible length.

What is the difference between character count and visible length?

Most unicode characters are encoded in two bytes, so they are counted as two characters. But they are visible as one character.
