Word Counter — Count Words in Text Online
Count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs live as you type, with reading and speaking time estimates.
Result
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.
Your files and inputs never leave this device. Processing runs completely offline. 100% Secure.

- Live word, character (with and without spaces), sentence, paragraph and line counts.
