Reading Time Calculator
The average adult reads non-fiction at around 238 words per minute. Use the Slow preset for technical or dense academic content (150 wpm), Average for general blog posts and articles (238 wpm), or Fast for familiar or skimmable content (300 wpm). Reading time updates live as you write, so you can calibrate your article length against your audience’s attention span before you hit publish.
Keyword Frequency & SEO Density
The keyword frequency chart shows your top 10 most-used meaningful words, automatically filtering out common English stop words such as the, is, and, and a. This reveals your content’s topical focus at a glance — useful for checking that your primary keywords appear at a natural density without over-optimisation. Admins can add custom stop words via the dashboard settings.
File Upload: .txt, .rtf, .docx
Upload documents directly instead of copy-pasting. Plain text (.txt), rich text format (.rtf), and Microsoft Word documents (.docx) are all supported. Drag a file onto the upload zone or click to browse. Processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your files are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
Privacy — Everything Stays in Your Browser
Every calculation — word count, reading time, character analysis, keyword frequency — is performed by JavaScript running locally in your browser tab. No text, no files, and no analysis results ever leave your device. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool continues to work perfectly.
