Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in your text. Get reading time estimates and keyword density analysis.
Text workspace
Count words and inspect repeated keywords as you type or paste text.
Method and limits
Words are separated by whitespace; characters are Unicode code points. Lines include empty lines. Reading uses 200 words/minute and speaking 150, rounded up. Keyword density uses letter/number tokens, excluding short words and a fixed English/French stop list from the displayed top ten.
A visible glyph can contain several code points. Languages without spaces need different word segmentation; sentence counts use punctuation and paragraphs use blank lines. Keyword density is not an SEO score.
Try this example
cat cat dog: 3 words, 11 characters, 9 without whitespace; cat has 66.7% density.
