UsingEnglish Text Analyser
What it is
UsingEnglish Text Analyser is a free web tool for examining text statistics, word patterns, and readability in English. The standard analyser counts words, different words, paragraphs, sentences, characters, and syllables. It also reports hard-word and long-word measures, the Gunning Fog Readability Index, word-length distributions, and frequency tables. A word cloud changes word size according to frequency while removing very common words. The advanced analyser adds sortable frequency results, word-length breakdowns, graded text analysis, common-phrase analysis, and additional readability scores. Graded analysis compares vocabulary with the British National Corpus or General Service List to support learner-focused word choices. The standard plan costs nothing and accepts up to 10,000 characters. The advanced plan also costs nothing, requires free registration, accepts up to 100,000 characters, and saves up to 20 texts.
