Computes word, character, sentence and paragraph counts plus reading and speaking time for supplied text.
- What it does
- Takes text passed as an argument and immediately outputs a set of statistics in tables. It reports word count, characters with and without spaces, sentence and paragraph counts, reading time, speaking time, unique words, average and longest word length, and sentence length figures. Calculations use fixed rates: words divided by 238 for reading time and by 150 for speaking time. It is instructions only and ships no scripts.
- When to use it
- Use it when you have a block of text and want quick numeric statistics about its length and readability. It suits cases where the numbers are wanted immediately without clarifying questions or commentary.
- Requirements
- No tools, packages, credentials or network access are needed; it is instructions only and ships no scripts.
