What is Word Counter?

A word counter analyzes text to provide detailed statistics including word count, character count, sentence count, and estimated reading time. This is essential for writers, students, and content creators who need to meet specific length requirements. Our browser-based word counter processes your text in real-time as you type, providing instant feedback. It also tracks paragraph count and average word length. Since all analysis happens locally in your browser, your writing remains completely private and is never sent to any server.
