📖 How to Use the Word Counter

Step 1: Enter your text. Type directly into the text area, or paste content from any source. You can also drag and drop a text file (.txt, .md, .csv, .html, .json, .xml, .log) onto the upload area to load it automatically.

Step 2: View real-time statistics. As you type, the tool instantly calculates and displays seven metrics:

  • Words — total word count (splits on whitespace)
  • Characters — total characters including spaces
  • Characters (no spaces) — character count excluding whitespace
  • Sentences — detected by periods, exclamation marks, and question marks
  • Paragraphs — separated by blank lines
  • Reading Time — based on 225 words per minute average
  • Speaking Time — based on 140 words per minute average

Step 3: Copy or clear. Use the "Copy Text" button to copy your input to the clipboard, or "Clear Text" to start over. The tool works with any language and has no word limit.

Tip: This tool is ideal for writers checking article length, students meeting word requirements, and anyone who needs a quick text analysis. All processing happens locally in your browser.
