The updateWordCount function performs the following tasks:
- Retrieves the text from the textarea and removes leading/trailing whitespace.
- Calculates the word count by splitting the text into words, filtering out empty strings, and counting the number of words.
- Counts the number of letters (excluding spaces).
- Determines the paragraph count based on the number of newline characters.
- Calculates reading time based on an average reading speed of 275 words per minute.
- Calculates speaking time based on an average speaking speed of 180 words per minute.
- Formats the time as hours, minutes, and seconds.
- Updates the HTML content of the result div with the calculated values.
This script does not require any external libraries and can be integrated into any HTML document with a textarea element.
The script is compatible with modern web browsers that support JavaScript.
The function listens to the input event on the textarea element, triggering the updateWordCount function whenever the user types or edits the text. The function then calculates various metrics based on the text content and updates the result div accordingly.
