Overview

Analyzes text in real time, calculating word count, character count (with and without spaces), paragraph count, reading time, and keyword density.

Word Count = Matches of \b\S+\b | Reading Time = Words / 200 words per minute

Standard average silent adult reading speed is 200 to 250 words per minute; speaking presentation speed is roughly 130 to 150 WPM.

Inputs: Article Text = 600 Words | Total Characters = ~3,800 characters

Count word tokens by whitespace delimiters = 600 Words
Count characters with spaces = 3,800 characters; without spaces = 3,200 characters
Estimated silent reading duration = 600 / 200 = 3.0 Minutes
Estimated spoken presentation duration = 600 / 130 = 4.6 Minutes

Summary: Words = 600 | Characters = 3,800 | Reading Time = 3 min | Speaking Time = 4.6 min
