What is Word Counter?
Word Counter is a free, real-time text analysis tool for writers, students, and marketers who need to track word count, character count, sentences, and paragraphs while they write.
It calculates estimated reading time and speaking time, tracks progress against a character limit (for X/Twitter posts, SMS messages, SEO titles, and meta descriptions), and highlights your most frequently used words — useful for spotting repetition or checking keyword density.
Every stat updates instantly as you type, with no delay, no sign-up, and no character limit unless you set one yourself.
How to Use It?
- Step One: Type directly into the text box, or paste in an existing draft, essay, or caption.
- Step Two: Watch the stat cards update live — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading/speaking time.
- Step Three: Optionally pick a character limit preset in the sidebar to track how much room you have left, then copy your stats or download the text as a .txt file.
Privacy Note: All counting happens 100% locally in your web browser. Nothing you type is ever uploaded to remote servers.
