About the Word Counter
The Word Counter gives an instant, transparent breakdown of a draft while you type. It treats groups of letters or numbers as words and also reports supporting measurements that help with essays, captions and editorial limits.
How to use the Word Counter
- Paste or type the complete passage.
- Choose Count to refresh every measurement.
- Copy the text or adjust it until the word target is reached.
Practical tips
- Hyphenated terms are counted as one word when they form a single expression.
- Check both word count and reading time when preparing spoken material.
