Text Stats by Paragraph
Per-paragraph length and readability stats — word/sentence/char counts plus Flesch / Flesch-Kincaid / Gunning Fog for paragraphs above a minimum size. Flags the dense paragraphs so editors know where to focus.
About Text Stats by Paragraph
Text Stats by Paragraph breaks a document into paragraphs and scores each one for length and readability, reporting word, sentence, and character counts alongside Flesch, Flesch-Kincaid, and Gunning Fog grades. It is built for editors who want to find the dense, hard-to-read paragraphs in a draft rather than a single number for the whole piece. It works entirely in your browser, so unpublished drafts stay private.

Common uses
- Flagging the one bloated paragraph in a blog post that drags the whole reading level up
- Reviewing a long-form report section by section to keep each paragraph within a target grade level
- Auditing documentation so dense, jargon-heavy passages get rewritten before publishing
- Comparing readability across paragraphs in marketing copy to keep the tone consistent
- Checking that an executive summary reads easier than the technical appendix it summarizes
- Helping a non-native writer spot sentences that have grown too long inside a paragraph
Frequently asked questions
What formats can I paste in?
Plain text and Markdown. Markdown is treated as text, with paragraphs split on blank lines.
Which readability scores are reported?
Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, and Gunning Fog, computed per paragraph above a minimum size.
Why are some short paragraphs skipped for readability?
Readability formulas are noisy on very short text, so paragraphs below a minimum length get length stats but not a reliability-sensitive grade.
Does my draft get uploaded?
No. All counting and scoring happens locally in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
Is there a length limit?
No fixed limit. The whole document is analyzed in-page, so extremely long texts depend on your browser's memory.
