Paste or type text to see an instant count of words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, reading time at 238 words per minute and speaking time at 140 words per minute, plus your most frequent keywords. Your text auto-saves in the browser, surviving reloads.
What does this tool do?
Counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs and reading time as you type — plus keyword density for your top 10 words. Your text auto-saves in the browser, surviving reloads.
It is built for the rhythm of real writing: paste a draft, glance at the numbers, keep editing — the figures update with every keystroke, so there is no “analyse” button breaking your flow. When the draft is done, the result copies cleanly into WordPress, Word or wherever it lives next.
The interface keeps things practical: the inputs are “Your text”; “Clear” starts over. Results update live as you work — there is no waiting and nothing to submit.
How do I use this tool?
Type or paste your text below; every figure updates live with each keystroke, so there is no “analyse” button to press.
- Enter your values in “Your text”.
- Results update instantly as you type — no button to press.
- “Clear” starts you over with a clean slate.
How does it work?
Words split on Unicode whitespace; characters count code points (emoji count once); sentences split on terminal punctuation with common-abbreviation awareness; reading time assumes ~200 words per minute. Keyword density tallies case-insensitive word frequency excluding the mechanics of counting itself.
All processing is streaming and local: the text never leaves the tab, and even long documents process in milliseconds on modern phones. What you see is computed from your exact input, every keystroke.
Use cases in Pakistan
Students hit BISE essay word limits and HEC thesis requirements; bloggers target 1,000+ words for SEO; freelancers verify article lengths for clients; and CSS aspirants practise precis within word counts. The auto-save rescues work when load-shedding kills the tab.
In a country where students write assignments in English as a second language and professionals draft client communication daily, a fast private text tool is a quiet productivity multiplier — catching the small errors that undermine otherwise good work.
Limitations
Counting rules are conventional, not universal — hyphenated words, numbers and contractions may count differently elsewhere. Reading-time is an average; keyword density is a rough SEO signal, not a ranking formula.
Automated analysis is literal-minded: it counts what is there, not what you meant. Human judgment — a re-read, a second pair of eyes — remains the final quality control for anything important.
Frequently asked questions
Is this word counter accurate?
Yes for standard rules: words split on whitespace, characters counted precisely. Hyphenations and numbers follow common conventions — other tools may differ by a word or two on edge cases. For important documents, run the check, fix issues, then run it once more — the second pass catches what the first round of edits introduced.
What is reading time based on?
About 200 words per minute, the average adult reading speed. Technical text reads slower; adjust mentally. Remember the tool counts what is there: a final human read-through remains the best quality control for anything that represents you.
Where is my text saved?
In your browser’s local storage on this device only — it survives reloads but is not synced or uploaded anywhere. If results surprise you, check for hidden characters or unusual whitespace — pasted text often carries invisible formatting.
What is keyword density for?
SEO writers check they mention target terms enough (1–2%) without stuffing. It is a guide, not a Google requirement. For important documents, run the check, fix issues, then run it once more — the second pass catches what the first round of edits introduced.
Is my data uploaded or stored?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — what you type or paste never leaves your device, is never sent to a server, and is never stored. Closing the tab removes all trace. Remember the tool counts what is there: a final human read-through remains the best quality control for anything that represents you.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes, free, and no account needed. Open the page and use it — no sign-up, no trial, no watermark on results. If results surprise you, check for hidden characters or unusual whitespace — pasted text often carries invisible formatting.
