How to Use the Word Counter

1. Enter Your Text

  • Type or paste your text into the large input box labeled "Your Text". You can include plain text or Markdown-formatted content.

2. View Instant Stats

  • As you type or paste, your text is automatically analyzed. Stats update in real time above the text box, showing:
    • Characters
    • Words
    • Sentences
    • Spaces
    • Lines and non-empty lines
    • Estimated page count (based on 250 words per page)

3. Reading & Speaking Metrics

  • See how long it would take to:
    • Read your text (based on average reading speed)
    • Speak your text (based on average speaking pace)
    • Understand the Reading Level (Elementary to Professional)

4. Markdown Mode (Optional)

  • Enable or disable Markdown Mode using the toggle at the top. When active, the tool ignores Markdown formatting in calculations (ideal for writers using Markdown syntax).

5. Markdown Insights

  • If using Markdown, detailed stats show:
    • Headings (H1 to H6)
    • List items (ordered & unordered)
    • Code blocks (fenced & inline)
    • Emphasis (bold & italics)
    • Links and more
      Click "Markdown Details" to expand and see a full breakdown.

6. Use Action Buttons

  • Clear: Reset the text box.
  • Sample Markdown: Load a pre-filled example to see how Markdown analysis works.
  • Copy Stats: Copy the full statistics summary to your clipboard for easy sharing.
