What this tool does

Count words, sentences, paragraphs, characters, and reading time as you type.

Method

A grapheme-aware browser parser applies documented rules for whitespace, punctuation, and optional hyphenated-word handling, then derives reading and speaking time from selected rates.

Example

Paste a draft article to check its word count, reading time, paragraph count, and most frequent terms.

Common questions

Is it free?

Yes. The core tool and its standard result or export are free to use.

Do I need an account?

No for the core utility. An account or private management token is requested only for capabilities that must persist, such as editable dynamic QR links.

Can I trust the result?

The method and assumptions are visible above. Time-sensitive tools name their sources and freshness; important financial, safety, legal, or operational decisions should be verified with the primary authority.
