Frequently Asked Questions
How are word and character counts calculated?
Word counts are evaluated using strict regex delimiters that identify whitespace boundaries. Special characters, punctuation, and formatting symbols can be configured to be included or stripped.
Why should I clean HTML tags out of pasted text?
Pasting text from websites or rich-text editors often drags hidden HTML tags, style attributes, and tracking classes. Stripping them returns clean plain text suitable for clean pasting.
Does the readability calculator analyze language complexity?
Yes. It analyzes sentence lengths, syllable counts, and structural complexity to compute clear accessibility ratings like Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level.
