What this word counter does

Input
Plain text typed or pasted into the editor.
Output
Live text statistics; the original text remains editable in your browser.
Example
Check a 1,500-word article draft, confirm character limits for a form, or estimate whether a speech will take about six minutes to read.

Processed locally in your browser — your working input is not uploaded by this tool. The current implementation uses browser APIs for processing. If Tools Brave later adds a server-powered version of this utility, the page will disclose that change before processing begins.
Limitations to know
- Sentence counting is heuristic and may not perfectly handle abbreviations or unusual punctuation.
- Reading time uses a simple average reading-speed estimate, not a personal measurement.
- Frequent-word analysis excludes a small built-in list of common English stop words.
Frequently asked questions
The estimate uses about 200 words per minute, a simple baseline rather than a promise of exact reading time.
The browser counts JavaScript string units, so some combined emoji can be represented by more than one unit.
No. The text is analyzed in your browser and is not submitted by this tool.
