How to Use the Word Counter
- Paste or type your text in the input area on the left.
- View live statistics as you type — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading time update automatically.
- Copy stats to clipboard with the toolbar button if you need to share or save the counts.
- Clear the input to start over with new text.
How Counting Works
Words are detected by splitting on whitespace boundaries. Sentences are identified by punctuation marks (periods, question marks, exclamation points). Paragraphs are counted by non-empty lines separated by blank lines.
Reading time is estimated at approximately 200 words per minute, and speaking time at about 130 words per minute — standard rates for clear, conversational speech.
FAQ
- Does my text leave my browser? No. All counting happens locally — nothing is uploaded.
- What counts as a word? Any sequence of characters separated by whitespace.
- Is there a text limit? The tool handles large texts efficiently, but extremely large documents may slow your browser slightly.
