What is a Word Counter?

A word counter is a tool that analyzes a piece of text to determine the number of words it contains. Modern word counters, like this one, often provide additional statistics such as character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, and even estimated reading or speaking time. These tools are invaluable for anyone working with text content.
