1. Paste your text — Type or paste text into the input area, or load a file. Word count, character count, and reading time update in real time.
2. Review the overview — The Overview tab shows words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, CJK characters, reading time, and speaking time. Adjust reading and speaking speed (WPM) as needed.
3. Analyze keywords — Switch to the Keywords tab for top word frequency and 2-word phrase analysis, or add custom keywords under Custom Track.
Writing and editing — Track word counts for blog posts, essays, or social media posts that have character limits.

How does the word count work? The tool splits text by whitespace and counts tokens. For CJK text (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), it counts individual characters separately.
What metrics are shown? Words, characters, characters without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, CJK characters, reading time, and speaking time — all updated in real-time as you type.
Can I track specific keywords? Yes. Add custom keywords to track their frequency and count across your text. The Keywords tab shows the top words and 2-word phrases.
