Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time and speaking time instantly as you type or paste. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
Why use this word counter?
Most free word counters push sign-in prompts, bury the stats behind a "Details" panel, or clutter the page with account nags. This tool shows every stat — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time, speaking time, and an estimated page count — the instant you type, with no account and no ads.
Frequently asked questions
Is this word counter really free, with no signup?
Yes — 100% free, no account needed, no watermark, and no limit on how much text you can count.
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent anywhere, stored, or seen by IT Cares.
How is reading time calculated?
We use an average reading speed of 200 words per minute and a speaking speed of 130 words per minute — the industry-standard estimates used by most writing tools.
Does it count words in other languages?
Yes — the counter splits on whitespace, so it works for French, Spanish, and most space-separated languages. Character count works for any language.
