Word Counter: How It Works and How to Use It
Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in real time, plus get an estimated reading and speaking time.
Like every tool on UltimateTools, it runs instantly in your browser, updates as you type, and doesn't require an account or sign-up to use.
What it calculates
Count words, sentences, and reading time as you type.
Whether you think of it as a "word counter" tool, a "word count or reading time" tool, or simply the Word Counter, this page covers the same calculation.
You can find it at any time on the Word Counter page, where the calculator sits above a full explanation of the method it uses.
Tips for an accurate result
Keep an original backup of any file before you convert, resize, or merge it, just in case.
For anything sensitive, that local-only processing is exactly why a browser-based tool is safer than emailing a file to a random converter site.
If a batch of files needs the same treatment, process one first to confirm the settings before running the rest.
Check the output file's size and format before relying on it elsewhere — some destinations have their own size or format limits.
