How the word counter works
This tool analyzes your text directly in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. It counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences and paragraphs, and estimates reading time (200 words per minute) and speaking time (130 words per minute).
It also shows a list of the most frequent keywords in the text along with their count and density, which is handy for spotting repetition before publishing content.
Frequently asked questions
How is the reading time calculated?
We use an average of 200 words per minute for silent reading and 130 words per minute for reading aloud, common values used by editors and blogging platforms.
Is the text I type sent to a server?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser, so your text is never transmitted or stored.
How is keyword density calculated?
We ignore very common words (like articles and prepositions) and calculate how many times each relevant word appears relative to the total number of considered words.
