Knowing the word count of a text can be important. For example, if an author is required to write a minimum or maximum number of words for an article, essay, report, story, book, paper, etc., a word counter will help make sure their writing meets specific requirements or stays within a certain limit.
In addition, the word counter will display the top ten keywords and keyword density of your article. This allows you to know which keywords you use how frequently and at what percentages, helping you avoid overusing certain words or phrases and check for optimal keyword distribution in your writing.
In the detailed overview, you can see the average reading and speaking time for your text, while the reading level indicates the education level needed to understand the vocabulary you've used.
