About Word Counter

Word Counter counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, lines and paragraphs as you type, and estimates reading and speaking time. It also lists the most frequent words, ignoring common words like "the" and "and".

Use it for essays and assignments with word limits, meta descriptions, social posts, scripts and speeches. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded.

How to use Word Counter

  1. Type or paste your text.
  2. Watch the counts update live.
  3. Check the reading time and top words.
