This is a free online word counter tool to count the words in a text. This tool counts words, sentences, characters, reading time, and speaking time. Just enter the text in the text area and click the count button.
Knowing word count is important for writers who write on a PPW basis. If your assignment requires a minimum number of words, you use this tool to find out how many words you have already written.
The reading time and speaking time is being calculated by taking a standard time and is there for a basic understanding. Some people read faster and speak faster while some people are slower. So, it may vary from person to person.
