Reading time estimates how long it takes to read your text silently, while speaking time estimates how long it takes to say it out loud — and they are not the same. This tool calculates reading time at about 200 words per minute, the typical adult silent-reading pace, and speaking time at about 150 words per minute, a comfortable presentation cadence. Because we naturally speak slower than we read, the same passage always takes longer to deliver aloud. That distinction matters: use reading time to set expectations for an article or email, and speaking time to budget a speech, podcast script, or video voiceover against a fixed slot. Paste your draft into the Advanced Word Counter and both estimates update live as you write, so you can trim until the length fits.

Keyword density is the share of your total words made up by a specific term, and most SEO guidance puts a healthy range at roughly 1 to 2.5 percent. Below that, the keyword may appear too rarely to clearly signal your topic; well above it, the text starts to read as keyword stuffing, which feels unnatural to readers and can work against you. The fix is not hitting an exact number but writing for clarity and using close variations and synonyms instead of repeating one phrase. Enter your target keyword in the Advanced Word Counter and it reports your density and flags when a term shows up too rarely or too often. It also lists your most-used words with their density and the most common two- and three-word phrases, so accidental repetition is easy to catch and rewrite.

Passive voice hides who is doing the action — "the report was written" instead of "Maria wrote the report" — which tends to make sentences longer, vaguer, and harder to follow. It is not wrong, and sometimes it is the right choice, but a high share across a whole document usually signals writing that could be more direct. As a rough guide, keeping passive voice under about 10 percent generally reads as clear and active; this tool treats that level as healthy and starts flagging text where roughly a quarter or more of sentences are passive. The Advanced Word Counter detects passive constructions, estimates the percentage of your text affected, and lists the specific sentences so you can rewrite them in active voice. Paste your draft to see which sentences to tighten first.

Bigrams are two-word phrases and trigrams are three-word phrases — for example "machine learning" is a bigram and "natural language processing" is a trigram. Counting how often these phrases repeat reveals patterns a single-word count misses: filler combinations you lean on, accidental repetition that reads as monotonous, and the recurring phrases that define your topic for search engines. This tool surfaces your most common two- and three-word phrases alongside individual word frequency, so you can spot a stock phrase appearing far too often or confirm that your key terms show up naturally. Writers use this to vary their language, editors use it to catch crutch phrases, and SEO teams use it to check that important multi-word terms are present. Paste your text into the Advanced Word Counter to see your top phrases instantly.

As a general rule, web content reads best at about an 8th-to-9th grade level — clear enough that most readers move through it without effort. To gauge this, the Advanced Word Counter computes six well-known readability formulas: Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade, Gunning Fog, SMOG Index, Coleman-Liau, and the Automated Readability Index. Flesch Reading Ease runs 0 to 100, where 60 to 70 is considered standard and comfortable; the others return a US school grade. Coleman-Liau and ARI rely on character counts rather than syllable counting, which makes them more stable on technical text. The tool averages the grade-level results into a single reading level, from Elementary through College and beyond. Higher scores point to dense sentences and long words worth simplifying.
