What is word counter?
The Uttir word counter gives you an instant breakdown of any text: words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading time. Counts update live as you type or paste.
Because it runs completely in your browser, it works offline once loaded and is safe for confidential or unpublished writing — essays, contracts, manuscripts, or anything else you would rather not paste into a server-based tool.
