Understanding Word Counts
Why Word Count Matters?
Word counting is essential for staying within limits for assignments, essays, and reports. It's also crucial for social media platforms like Twitter, where character limits are strict, and for SEO optimization.
How it Works
Our tool scans your text instantly to calculate words based on spaces and punctuation. For languages without spaces (like Chinese or Japanese), it intelligently counts characters. We also estimate reading and speaking times based on average speeds.
Features
Beyond simple counting, use this tool to convert text case (UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case) and clean up formatting. Everything runs locally in your browser for maximum privacy and speed.
