Count the words, characters, sentences and paragraphs in a text, and estimate how many pages it fills at a given font, font size and line spacing. Inputs: text, and optional font (times new roman, arial, calibri, georgia, courier new or verdana, default times new roman), font_size in points (default 12) and spacing (single, 1.5 or double, default double). The page count is an estimate from typical words per page, so a word processor may differ by a little. Also returns an estimated reading time at 238 words per minute. Example: "Count the words in this essay and estimate the pages in Times New Roman 12 double spaced.

Score how hard a text is to read with three standard formulas: Flesch Kincaid grade level (plus the Flesch reading ease score), Gunning Fog index and SMOG index. Each grade is roughly a US school grade, so 12 is the end of high school and 16 is a college degree. Input: text. SMOG is built for samples of 30 sentences or more, so on shorter text the tool still returns a number but marks it as less reliable. Example: "Give me the Flesch Kincaid, Gunning Fog and SMOG scores for this paper.

Flag common style problems in an essay: sentences in the passive voice, sentences that start with the same word as a neighbour (or three or more times), filler words and phrases such as very, just, in order to, and sentences that are too long. Inputs: text, and optional max_sentence_words (default 30), the length above which a sentence counts as long. Sentence numbers start at 1 and follow the order of the text, so number 3 is the third sentence. The sentence_list field gives each passive or long sentence with its number, and the text summary ends with a line listing those numbers. The checks are simple pattern rules, so treat them as prompts to reread, not as errors. Example: "Flag passive voice and filler words in my draft.

Compare an essay against a word limit. Inputs: text, limit (the maximum word count), optional minimum (a lower bound), optional tolerance_percent (how far over the limit is still acceptable, default 0, a common rule is 10), optional exclude_references (cut everything from a heading line such as References, Works Cited or Bibliography to the end) and optional exclude_quotes (leave out block quotes that start with > and text inside double quotes). Returns the counted words, how many are left or over, and what was excluded. Example: "Is this under 2000 words if I leave out the works cited and quotes?.

Find the words an essay uses most, to spot overused or repeated terms. Inputs: text, and optional top (how many words to list, default 10), min_count (fewest uses for a word to be listed, default 2) and include_common_words (also count small words such as the, and, of and to, default false). Case is ignored, and words under 3 letters are skipped unless include_common_words is true. Each word comes with its count and its share of all the words in the text. Example: "Which words do I overuse in this essay?.
