Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs as you type — with reading time, speaking time, and word frequency analysis. 100% in your browser.
A word counter tells you exactly how many words your text contains — essential when you're writing against a limit: essays with strict word counts, articles with editorial targets, application statements, ad copy, or social media posts. Paste or type your text and the word count updates live with every keystroke.
Beyond the raw word count, this tool reports characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines, plus estimated reading and speaking time — invaluable for speeches and presentations. The word frequency analysis reveals your most-repeated words so you can tighten your writing and vary your vocabulary.
Everything is calculated locally in your browser with 100% client-side processing. Your essays, manuscripts, and confidential documents never leave your device — you can even use the counter offline.
Simply type, paste your text from clipboard, or use the "Open File" button to open documents like .txt, .md, or code files directly into the workspace.
As you input content, the tool instantly updates the character count, word count, line count, and other fundamental metrics in the results panel.
Toggle the advanced analytics icon to discover reading time, speaking time, and frequency analysis of the top words and characters used.
Once finished, you can easily copy the raw text to your clipboard or download a detailed text analysis report as a formatted text file.
No need to click submit or refresh the page. Our algorithms compute string length and word counts instantly on every keystroke, ensuring zero friction in your workflow.
Security is paramount. The text processing code operates entirely within your local browser ecosystem. We never upload, store, or monitor the documents you analyze.
Easily import large datasets. In addition to standard pasting, you can open plain text, code files (JS, TS, Python, HTML), CSVs, and markdown documents directly for bulk analysis.
Avoid truncations by adhering to character limits on platforms like Twitter (280 chars), Instagram captions, Facebook ads, and LinkedIn posts.
Optimize search engine visibility by checking if you meet the optimal HTML meta title length (up to 60 characters) and meta description length (up to 160 characters).
Verify API payload limits, count characters for database VARCHAR restrictions, or test UI/UX layouts involving heavy text strings and localized content formatting.
Words are counted by splitting your text on whitespace — any sequence of characters between spaces, tabs, or line breaks counts as one word. This matches how word processors like Microsoft Word and Google Docs count, so your numbers stay consistent across tools.
Yes. A hyphenated compound like "well-known" counts as a single word, and standalone numbers count as words too — the same convention used by word processors and accepted by teachers and editors.
Reading time uses the average adult silent-reading speed of about 200 words per minute; speaking time uses roughly 150 words per minute, which accounts for articulation and natural pauses. A 1,500-word essay is therefore about 7.5 minutes of reading or 10 minutes of speaking.
No. The counting runs entirely in your browser — your text is never transmitted over the internet or stored on a server. It's safe to paste unpublished manuscripts, legal documents, or exam essays.
Yes — use the "Open File" button to load .txt, .md, code files, or CSVs straight from your device. The full statistics, including word count and frequency analysis, are computed instantly.
