Why we built WordlyCounter
Writers, students, editors and marketers check word and character counts dozens of times a day — against essay limits, tweet limits, meta description limits, or a publisher's word count brief. We wanted a tool that answers that question in under a second, with no account, no popups, and no waiting for a page to load.
WordlyCounter counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences and paragraphs as you type, and estimates both reading time and speaking time — useful whether you're trimming an essay or timing a speech.
What makes us different
- No sign-up, ever. Paste your text and get your count immediately.
- Privacy first. Your text is processed entirely in your browser — it is never uploaded or stored on our servers. See our Privacy Policy for details.
- Built-in writing suggestions. Beyond raw counts, WordlyCounter flags overly long sentences, heavy passive voice, and repeated words, so you can tighten your writing before you submit or publish it.
- Growing toolset. We're expanding beyond word counting into case conversion, readability scoring, and document tools, all under one roof.
Who uses WordlyCounter
Our users include students checking essay and assignment limits, content writers hitting SEO word-count targets, social media managers trimming captions to character limits, and editors doing a final pass before publishing.
