Compile stats for text and HTML docs with Text Stat
Most word processors will give you some basic statistics about documents you're working on, like a word count. But what if you want to see how many words, paragraphcs, sentences, characters, and spaces are in a text-based document without opening it up in a word processor?
Text Stat is a lightweight, open source Windows application that will let you analyze any TXT or HTML file. In addition to those stats, you Text Stat will spit out a whole bunch of numbers that you'll probably never need to know, including the average number of syllables per word, the average number of words per sentence, and a Flesch score, which basically tells you how difficult the article is to read.

Pretty neat, although some people might remember how all these features were built into WordPerfect 6.0 (with Grammatik!) back in the mid-1990s.
The more things change...

And, with fewer statistics, in Microsoft Word as far back as I can remember. Alt+F8 "Statistics"
