# Text Statistics Dashboard

Category: Text & Writing

## What is a text statistics dashboard?

A text statistics dashboard analyzes a passage and shows its length, structure, vocabulary, character mix, reading time, speaking time, and most frequent words in one view. Paste or type a draft and every metric updates instantly in your browser, so you can inspect sensitive writing without uploading it.

This dashboard goes beyond a single word count. It shows how your text is built, including average word, sentence, and paragraph length; Unicode-aware character totals; vocabulary variety; word-length distribution; and repeated terms.

**Your text stays on your device.** The analysis runs locally with browser JavaScript and does not send the passage to a server.

## How to use it

1. **Add your text** - Paste or type an article, essay, script, or other passage into the text box.
2. **Scan the live dashboard** - Review the main counts, structure, composition, vocabulary variety, timing estimates, and word charts as they update.
3. **Inspect patterns** - Use frequent-word and word-length bars to spot repetition or a sentence pattern worth revising.
4. **Copy the report** - Copy a plain-text summary of the current metrics for your notes or editorial checklist.

## Who it's for

- **Editors** checking sentence rhythm, paragraph balance, and repeated wording.
- **Students and researchers** summarizing the shape of essays, abstracts, and notes.
- **Content teams** reviewing scripts, articles, newsletters, and landing-page copy before publishing.
- **Speakers** comparing draft length with approximate reading and delivery times.

## Expert note

Vocabulary variety here is the type-token ratio: unique words divided by total words. It is useful for comparing similar-length drafts, but it naturally falls as a text gets longer, so it should not be treated as a writing-quality score.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is my text uploaded or stored?

No. The dashboard analyzes text locally in your browser. The passage is not sent to CanDoYa or stored by the tool, which makes it suitable for drafts and notes you do not want to upload.

### Is the text statistics dashboard free?

Yes. You can analyze text, load the example, and copy a statistics report for free, with no account or sign-up.

### How much text can I analyze?

The tool does not impose a fixed text limit. Very large documents may update more slowly because all segmentation and counting happens on your device, but ordinary articles, essays, and scripts should feel immediate.

### How are words and characters counted?

Modern browsers use Unicode-aware segmentation for word boundaries and visible character clusters. This handles emoji, combining marks, and languages without spaces more naturally than splitting only on spaces. Different word processors may still apply slightly different token rules.

### What does vocabulary variety mean?

Vocabulary variety is the percentage of word tokens that are unique after case is ignored. A passage with 80 unique words among 100 total words has 80% variety. Compare similar-length drafts because longer passages naturally repeat more words.

### How are reading and speaking times estimated?

The dashboard divides the word count by fixed baselines of 238 words per minute for reading and 130 words per minute for speaking. These are planning estimates, not promises; topic difficulty, pauses, and delivery style can change the actual time.

### Does the dashboard score readability?

No. It reports descriptive statistics without turning them into a quality grade. Readability formulas are calibrated for particular languages and use different assumptions, so use the dedicated Readability Score tool when that is the job you need.
