Free Online Word Counter
See live word, character, sentence and paragraph counts plus reading time as you type.
Whether you are hitting a 500-word essay target, trimming an article to a limit, or checking a caption, knowing your exact count matters. Paste or type into the box and this counter updates instantly — no button to press — tallying words, characters, sentences and paragraphs and estimating how long the piece takes to read aloud. It is the quiet utility writers keep open in a spare tab.

Why Use TextsPro
All the counting happens in your browser as you type, so your writing is never sent to a server or saved anywhere.

Because there is no upload and no processing delay, the numbers update the instant you make a change, and there is no account, no word cap and no cost to keep it open all day. For quick case fixes, hand your text to the case converter.
