About Word Counter
What this does
Paste or type any text and see a live count of words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, lines and estimated reading and speaking time. Great for essays with a word limit, tweets, SEO meta descriptions and social captions. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
