Text Statistics examples
Text Statistics use cases
- Check meta descriptions and social copy length.
- Estimate reading time for documentation snippets.
- Count lines or paragraphs in copied notes.
How Text Statistics works
- The browser counts visible characters, words, lines, and paragraphs.
- Reading time is estimated from word count.
- Text is not uploaded.
Text Statistics mistakes to avoid
- Different platforms count emoji, whitespace, and line breaks differently.
- Reading time is an estimate, not an accessibility measure.
- Character count is not the same as byte size.
