About Word Counting

Word counts are essential for academic writing. Abstracts typically have 150-350 word limits, conference papers often require 6-8 pages, and journals may specify maximum word counts for different sections.

This free tool counts words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs instantly as you type. It also estimates reading time (based on 225 words/minute average) and speaking time (based on 137 words/minute average for presentations).

For academic writing with built-in word counting, citation management, and AI assistance, try TypeTeX - a modern writing platform designed for researchers.
