About this tool
This page opens the word counter ready for the simplest job there is: paste or type any text and watch the word count update on every keystroke, right alongside character, sentence, paragraph and line totals.
Word detection is Unicode-aware and handles apostrophes and hyphens correctly, so contractions like "don't" and compound terms like "e-mail" are still counted as a single word — in English, Ukrainian or any mixed-language text you throw at it.
There is nothing to configure and no button to press: everything runs locally in your browser, so whatever you paste — a tweet draft, a paragraph from a report, or a whole chapter — never leaves your device.
Example. The text hello world is counted as 2 words, and reading time uses 200 words per minute.
Limit. Speaking time and reading time are those fixed rates applied to the word count, not a measured recording.
