Understanding Text Readability

Writing isn't just about length; it's about clarity. TextMatric goes beyond a simple word counter. We analyze syllable density and sentence length to provide a "Grade Level."

For example, if you are writing for a general audience or SEO, aim for a Grade 6-8 level. This ensures your content is accessible to the majority of web users. Technical papers may rank higher (Grade 12+), while marketing copy works best when it is punchy and short (Grade 4-5).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does TextMatric store my content?

No. TextMatric runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded to our servers, ensuring 100% privacy and security for your drafts.

How is Word Count calculated?

We use a standard whitespace delimiter method. This accurately counts words across English and most Latin-script languages, ignoring standard punctuation marks.

What is the ideal blog post length for SEO?

While it varies by niche, most SEO experts recommend between 1,500 and 2,500 words for long-form content to rank on the first page of Google. Use our tool to track your progress.
