About the Word Counter
The Word Counter analyzes text live in your browser: words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, unique-word count, plus reading time (200 wpm) and speaking time (130 wpm). The keyword table surfaces your ten most-used words with density, filtering English and German stopwords.
Ideal for meta descriptions (aim ≈155 characters — check with the Meta Tag Analyzer), social posts and article length targets. Nothing is transmitted to any server.
Reading time uses the common average of 200 words per minute for silent reading; speaking time uses 130 words per minute — the pace of a clear presentation or voiceover.
Yes — counting is Unicode-aware, so umlauts, ß and any other script are handled correctly. The keyword list also filters both English and German stopwords.
No. Everything runs locally in your browser via JavaScript — nothing you type leaves your device.
