Runs entirely in your browserAbout Word Counter
The Word Counter is a writer's quick-reference for the metrics that matter: words for length targets, characters with and without spaces for headlines and meta descriptions, sentences and paragraphs for pacing, and a reading-time estimate based on the standard 200-words-per-minute average. All counts update live as you type.
Word segmentation uses the browser's `Intl.Segmenter` API when available, which means it gets non-English text right — Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and text containing emoji are all counted accurately. The keyword extractor strips common stopwords (the, and, of, to, etc.) and shows the 12 most frequent meaningful words with their counts, which is useful for checking if you're overusing a term or covering your topic well. Everything runs in your browser; your draft never leaves your device.

How is reading time calculated?+
Words divided by 200 (an average adult reading speed for general-audience text), rounded up to the nearest minute with a minimum of 1.
Does the word counter handle Chinese or Japanese text?+
Yes. It uses Intl.Segmenter where available (modern Chrome, Edge, Firefox), which understands word boundaries in CJK and most other scripts. Older browsers fall back to a Unicode-aware regex.
What counts as a sentence?+
A sequence ending in `.`, `!`, or `?` followed by whitespace or end-of-text. Abbreviations like `Dr.` may cause occasional miscounts but are usually fine.
What are stopwords, and why are they excluded?+
Stopwords are very common, low-meaning words like 'the', 'and', 'of'. We exclude them from the top-keywords list because they would otherwise dominate every result and obscure the actual topic of the text.
Is my text uploaded?+
No. Counting happens locally in your browser.
