Paste your text and watch the numbers move. Nothing is uploaded — the count happens on your own device as you type.
The counter watches the text box and recalculates on every keystroke. Words are runs of characters separated by whitespace; sentences are counted by full stops, question marks and exclamation marks; paragraphs are blocks separated by a blank line. Reading time assumes 200 words per minute, which is a common average for adult silent reading.
The repeated-words list ignores very short words and the most common English filler, and only shows words used more than once — useful for spotting a word you have leaned on too heavily.
No. The counting happens in JavaScript on your own device, and there is no server to send it to. Closing the tab discards everything.
Word count divided by 200 words per minute, rounded to the nearest second. Technical or unfamiliar material reads slower than that, so treat it as a floor rather than a promise.
Abbreviations like “Dr.” or “e.g.” contain full stops, so they get counted as sentence endings. Any counter that splits on punctuation has this limitation.
No hard limit. Very large documents — hundreds of thousands of words — may make typing feel less responsive because the totals refresh on every keystroke.
