Free Word Counter & Text Analyzer
This word counter goes beyond a simple word tally. Type or paste any text — or upload a .txt, .doc or .docx file — and it instantly returns word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, average word length and the number of unique words used.
It also estimates reading time and speaking time based on standard adult rates, and surfaces the top 10 most-used keywords with their occurrence count and density percentage, which is handy for checking whether an article leans too hard on one phrase before you publish it.
Key features
Live, detailed stats
Words, characters (with/without spaces), sentences, paragraphs and average word length in one pass.
Reading & speaking time
Estimates based on 200 wpm reading and 130 wpm speaking, useful for articles, scripts and speeches.
Keyword density
Top 10 non-stopword keywords with occurrence count and percentage — a quick SEO sanity check.
File upload
Analyze a .txt, .doc or .docx file directly instead of pasting the content by hand.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text into the box, or upload a .txt/.doc/.docx file.
- Submit to see word, character, sentence and paragraph counts instantly.
- Scroll to the keyword density table to see your most-repeated words.
- Check reading/speaking time if you're writing for a speech or timed content.
Worked example
Example
Paste a 500-word blog draft. The tool reports ~500 words, ~2,800 characters, ~22 sentences, a 2.5-minute reading time, and flags that "marketing" appears 14 times (2.8% density) — a sign to vary the wording.
Who uses this tool
Writers & bloggers
Check article length against a target word count and catch overused words before publishing.
Students
Verify an essay or assignment meets a minimum or maximum word count requirement.
SEO professionals
Spot keyword stuffing or thin content using the density table and reading-time estimate.
Tips for the best results
- Watch the keyword density table for any word above roughly 3% — that's often a sign of unnatural repetition.
- Reading time assumes 200 words per minute; for technical or dense content, actual reading time will run longer.
- Use the unique-word count alongside total words to gauge vocabulary variety in longer pieces.
- For scripts or speeches, the speaking-time estimate (130 wpm) is more useful than the reading-time one.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Comparing word count across languages — character-based languages like Chinese or Japanese don't count the same way as space-delimited English.
- Ignoring paragraph count when a platform (like a meta description or tweet) actually limits characters, not words.
- Assuming keyword density above 100% signals an error — it's normal for very short texts where one word repeats often relative to the total.
