About Word Counter

Editing and transforming text manually is tedious and error-prone. Word Counter automates the process so you can count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and estimate reading time in one click. It works with any length of text, from a single sentence to thousands of lines, and runs entirely in your browser for complete privacy.
