The tool counts words, sentences, and syllables from your pasted text. Syllables are approximated by counting vowel groups per word and subtracting silent trailing ‘e’. The Flesch formulas use average sentence length (ASL = words ÷ sentences) and average syllables per word (ASW = syllables ÷ words). Reading time divides the word count by the words-per-minute rate. All analysis runs in your browser.
