A word counter is a tool that analyzes text and provides statistics such as word count, character count, sentence count, paragraph count, reading time, and speaking time. Writers, students, bloggers, and SEO professionals use word counters to meet content length requirements, optimize keyword density, and estimate presentation timing.
How This Tool Works
Paste or type your text in the input area and all statistics are calculated instantly. Words are counted by splitting on whitespace. Sentences are detected by periods, exclamation marks, and question marks. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines. Reading time assumes an average of 200 words per minute, while speaking time uses 130 words per minute. All processing happens client-side in your browser — your text is never sent to any server.
Keyword Density Analysis
The keyword density section shows the top 10 most frequently used words in your text along with their percentage of total words. You can toggle the "Exclude common words" option to filter out stop words like "the," "a," "is," and other function words, giving you a clearer picture of your content's key topics. This is especially useful for SEO content optimization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text stored or sent to a server?
No. All counting and analysis happens entirely in your browser. No data is ever sent to a server. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet and using the tool offline.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is calculated using an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is a widely accepted average for adult readers. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute, the average conversational pace.
What are "common words" in keyword density?
Common words (also called stop words) are high-frequency function words like "the," "a," "is," "and," "to," etc. They carry little semantic meaning and are often excluded from keyword analysis to reveal the actual content keywords.
Is there a text length limit?
There is no hard limit. Since everything runs in your browser, performance depends on your device. Most texts (articles, essays, blog posts) will be analyzed instantly. Very large documents (100,000+ words) may cause a brief delay.
