About

WordScope instantly counts words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in any selected text or entire web page.

THREE WAYS TO USE:
• Select text → click the WordScope icon in the toolbar
• Right-click any text → choose "WordScope — Count words"
• Press Alt+W for instant results

WHAT YOU GET:
• Word count plus character count (with and without spaces)
• Sentence count and paragraph count
• Average word length
• Reading time (based on 238 WPM average)
• Speaking time (based on 150 WPM average)
• Flesch Reading Ease score (English text, 30+ words)
• Longest word detection

TWO DISPLAY MODES:
• Popup panel — click the toolbar icon to see full stats
• Floating overlay — use right-click or Alt+W to see results directly on the page without leaving your workflow

BADGE INDICATOR:
The toolbar icon shows the word count as a badge with a green-to-blue pulse animation after each count.

SMART TEXT HANDLING:
• Works with selected text or analyzes the entire page when nothing is selected
• Unicode-aware: supports Latin, Cyrillic, CJK, Arabic, and other scripts
• Filters out URLs, emails, and code snippets from word length calculations
• Handles hyphenated words, Wikipedia-style references, and special punctuation

READABILITY ANALYSIS:
For English text (30+ words, 2+ sentences), WordScope calculates the Flesch Reading Ease score on a 0-100 scale:
  90-100: Very Easy
  80-89: Easy
  70-79: Fairly Easy
  60-69: Standard
  50-59: Fairly Hard
  30-49: Hard
  0-29: Very Hard

PRIVACY FIRST:
WordScope processes everything locally in your browser. No data is ever sent to any server. No analytics. No tracking. No accounts. Your text stays on your device.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUT:
Alt+W — instantly count words in your selection or entire page.
