What is Text Analytics?

Text Analytics gives you detailed statistics about your writing. You can see how many words, characters, and sentences you have written, plus estimates for how long it will take to read or speak your text.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • Students writing essays with word count requirements
  • Writers who need to track document length
  • Content creators who need specific word counts
  • Anyone who wants to estimate reading time
  • People preparing speeches who need timing information

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


Step 2: Open the All Features Section

Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.

Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.


Step 3: Find Writing Tools

Look through the list of features until you see Writing tools.


Step 4: Open the Notepad

Click on Writing tools to open it.

In the Writing tools panel, click on Notepad to open the Helperbird text editor.

A new tab will open with the Notepad where you can write or paste your text.


Step 5: View Text Analytics

Once you have text in your Notepad, click the Text statistics button in the toolbar.

A window will open showing detailed analytics about your writing:

  • Words – Total word count in your document
  • Characters – Total number of characters including spaces
  • Sentences – Number of sentences in your text
  • Reading time – Estimated time to read your text
  • Speaking time – Estimated time to speak your text aloud
  • Writing time – Estimated time it took to write your text

Tip: Use Text Analytics to check if your writing meets specific requirements like word limits for essays or to estimate how long your content will take readers to consume.

Helperbird is one of the most helpful tools I've ever used. It has so many great features that not many other apps or software have. The free version can be installed and stay forever on your browser. Other companies don't always give you access for free or give access for free forever. When you do get access to the Pro version or other paid plans, you expand your opportunity to read and stay focused better. One of the other great things about Helperbird is their support service. They have a video for every single feature that you can use. They are simple and helpful videos that make the learning process a lot easier. In addition, they have great live chat support. They are super nice and helpful. They always encourage people to give suggestions on how to improve Helperbird. Why is this important? It shows they really care about people with disabilities or people in general.
