What problem does it solve?

Manually calculating text statistics like word count, reading time, and readability scores is tedious and time-consuming. This Skill automates that process, providing instant, comprehensive insights into any document's length, complexity, and audience appropriateness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Basic Metrics: Get immediate word count (total and unique), character count, and estimated reading time.
  • Complexity & Readability: Assess sentence structure, vocabulary richness, and generate industry-standard Flesch Reading Ease and grade level scores.
  • Use Case: Quickly evaluate a blog post's readability for your target audience, ensure a report meets specific length requirements, or assess the complexity of academic text.

Quick Start

Analyze the attached document 'my_article.md' for its word count, reading time, and readability scores.

Frequently Asked Questions about text-statistics

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate reading time and word count for a document?

Reading time estimation analyzes total word count and divides by configurable reading speed (typically 200–250 words per minute) to output minutes required. Word count includes total and unique word totals, enabling length verification and complexity assessment across documents, reports, and web content.

What readability scores does text analysis provide?

Readability analysis generates Flesch Reading Ease scores (0–100 scale) and grade-level estimates, quantifying audience comprehension difficulty. These metrics assess whether writing suits target readers—academic, professional, or general audiences—based on sentence structure and vocabulary complexity.

Can I analyze document complexity and sentence structure?

Complexity analysis evaluates sentence structure patterns, vocabulary richness, and syllable distribution to quantify writing difficulty. Results identify overly dense passages and guide editing for clarity, supporting content evaluation, academic assessment, and readability improvement workflows.

How do I check if my blog post meets length requirements?

Submit text or attach documents to retrieve comprehensive metrics including character count, word count, and reading time estimates. Instant output confirms whether content meets minimum or maximum length thresholds for publishing, SEO, or editorial standards.

What text formats and documents does analysis support?

Text statistics processing accepts standalone document uploads and user-provided text blocks across markdown, plain text, and common writing formats. Analysis generates standardized metrics output applicable to blog posts, reports, academic papers, and editing workflows.

Why would I assess readability before publishing content?

Readability scoring identifies whether writing clarity matches audience expectations before publication, preventing audience mismatch and engagement loss. Grade-level and Flesch scores surface overly complex phrasing early, enabling targeted revision to improve accessibility.
