About WordTally

What we built

WordTally is a free, browser-based writing tool that counts words, characters, and reading time in real time. No sign-up, no uploads, no waiting. Paste your text and the numbers update instantly — everything runs locally in your browser.

Who it's for

Writers checking draft length before submitting. Students hitting essay minimums. Marketers counting tweet characters before posting. Speakers estimating how long a script will run. Anyone who needs a fast, no-friction count — without opening Word or Google Docs just to check a number.

Our tools

• Word & Character Counter — Real-time word, character, and reading time count as you type.
• Reading Time Estimator — See how long your text takes to read or speak at slow, average, and fast pace.
• Keyword Density Checker — Analyze your top keywords by frequency and density with stop words filtered out.

Privacy by design

Your text never leaves your device. WordTally has no backend, no database, and no analytics that log what you write. Everything is computed in your browser and discarded when you close the tab. See our Privacy Policy for details.
