How we count

• Words are found with the browser’s language-aware rules, so Tamil and Hindi words and joined letters count correctly.
• Characters count what you see: an emoji or a Tamil letter with its vowel sign is one character.
• Reading time uses 200 words per minute and speaking time 130 by default; change them as you like.

Writing tips

• Keep most sentences under 20–25 words.
• Do not repeat a keyword unnaturally; write for people first.
• For exams and forms, check whether spaces or headings count toward the limit.

Privacy

• Your text is never uploaded.
• Autosave keeps it only in this browser; turn it off on shared computers.
• Use “Clear” to remove it.

Questions about this tool

Does it count Tamil and Hindi words correctly?

Yes. It uses the browser’s Unicode word and letter rules, so joined letters and vowel signs are not counted as extra characters.

How is reading time calculated?

Words divided by reading speed. The default is 200 words per minute; you can change it.

What is a good keyword density?

There is no fixed number. If a word stands out in the density table and sounds forced, use it less or use a synonym.

Why no readability score for Tamil or Hindi?

The common scores (like Flesch) were made for English. For Indian languages we show long sentences instead.

Is my text saved?

Only in your browser if autosave is on. Nothing is sent to us.
