- Words — total word count, useful for court-imposed word limits
- Characters — total characters with and without spaces
- Sentences — detected using punctuation boundaries, accounting for common legal abbreviations
- Paragraphs — blocks of text separated by blank lines
- Reading time — estimated at 200 words per minute for dense legal text
- Page estimate — based on 250 words per page (double-spaced, standard court filing format)
Note: Word count is the primary metric used by most federal and state courts for filing limits. Check your jurisdiction's specific rules for what counts toward the word limit (e.g., whether headings, footnotes, or signature blocks are included).
