About This Tool


Word count is essential for writers, students, and content creators. Whether you're writing an essay with a strict word limit, crafting a tweet within character limits, or preparing a speech, knowing your word count is crucial.

Our word counter provides comprehensive text statistics including total words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs. The reading time estimate helps you gauge how long your content takes to read at average reading speed.

For presentations and speeches, the speaking time estimate calculates duration based on average speaking pace. The keyword density feature shows your most frequently used words, helping identify potential overuse or opportunities for variation.

The tool works entirely in your browser, meaning your text is never sent to any server. This ensures complete privacy for sensitive content like confidential documents or personal writing.
