WORD COUNTER: FAST AND EASY
Free online character and word count tool
Enter (by typing directly or using copy paste) your text and find out how many words and characters it contains.
Why would you need an online word counter?
Online word counters are a perfect tool for anyone who needs to keep a count of their words and characters, but doesn't use Microsoft Word. Imagine writing a piece and having to manually count the words! Not only will it take forever, but there's a chance you won't be wholly accurate.
This tool is also a good way to assess your words per minute typing rate. Simply time yourself typing for five minutes. Type into the box on the online word counter. When the time is up, divide your total word count by five, and you have your average words per minute rate.
How is our tool different from other word counters?
All word counting is made on the go, there is no need to press any "submit" buttons to make the calculation and therefore no time is lost for this procedure. You can type the text and instantly see how many words you got so far. Also, we do not store any information that is typed or pasted in the word counting box.
Who is this word counting tool for?
Bloggers/Content Writers
You could be writing an article for someone else where the word count is important, but even if it's for your own site, this tool can be fantastic for your SEO. For example, the body of text should be a minimum of 300 words, and the title should be less than 70 characters to rank effectively.
Students/Teachers
As a student, you will often be expected to write assignments with specific word counts. Although a bit of leeway is usually given, if you are well off the count either way, you could lose marks. As a lecturer, you can use this tool to ensure your students' assignments are the correct length.
Professional Use
In many workplaces, you will be expected to write pieces of certain lengths at times, for example, lawyers, secretaries, and other professionals who need to maintain specific document standards.
