What is Word Counter?
Count Words is a free online text analysis tool. Paste or type any text and instantly see word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time.
How It Works
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace boundaries. Characters are counted with String.length. Sentences are detected by terminal punctuation (. ! ?). Paragraphs are separated by double newlines. Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute.
