Word Counter - counts what you type Extension

Shows a count of words and characters as you type.

Or select some text on a webpage to see the count of words, characters and estimated reading time.

Or tap on the extension button to open a window to write in. (Supports markdown formatting too!)

*Doesn't count in password or number input fields.

-----------------

Update 13 Feb 2020:

New: App window to write longer text, with word count, word limits, markdown support, and more...

Update 27 Dec 2019:

New: Show estimated reading time for text. Reading time is calculated based on a reading speed of 200 words per minute.

Update 13 Nov 2018:

1. Removed permission for reading clipboard. Planned feature has been cancelled, so don't need this permission anymore.
2. Made word count non-selectable, so it doesn't get included when doing select all (Ctrl/Cmd + A) on a webpage.

Dr.Ne0Gen3tic (Forensic Buro of Quantum) (ID: 000000804fbaeac1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/16/2024 This "Word Counter" is really, the best! While you mark sentences and words, word by word, the characters are displayed in the bottom right in a small "mini pop-up window"! The only one here in the store that offers and solves this so beautifully and elegantly with dark mode! This form is the best and so I have been looking for this really long! But I use this one already now a year about! Can I really only recommend, is also very accurate! For translators with character limits, this is really a blessing, because you can translate so much more efficiently! Thank you, for this little gem of browser extension! Dieser „Wortzähler“ ist wirklich der Beste! Während man Sätze und Wörter Wort für Wort markiert, werden die Zeichen unten rechts in einem kleinen „Mini-Popup-Fenster“ angezeigt! Der einzige hier im Shop, der das so schön und elegant im Dark Mode anbietet und löst! Dieser Modus ist der Beste und deshalb habe ich wirklich lange danach gesucht! Aber ich benutze ihn jetzt seit etwa einem Jahr! Ich kann ihn wirklich nur empfehlen, er ist auch sehr genau! Für Übersetzer mit Zeichenbegrenzung ist es wirklich ein Segen, weil man so viel effizienter übersetzen kann! Vielen Dank für dieses kleine Juwel einer Browser-Erweiterung!

Michael Bode (ID: 000000473bf81f19) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/02/2021 It's nice but there is definitely room for improvement. It's rather unobtrusive, which is a plus, and it basically gets the job done. Alas it doesn't work in some cases, because ist doesn't check whether the div it creates for it's output actually exists in the page. The div gets attached to the document body on setup and is afterwards just presumed to be present, which on single page apps is absolutely not guaranteed. Why not check in your code if your div is actually there, and create it on the fly if it isn't? Another thing is, and that's the one that prevented me from giving more than 2 stars, that it floods the console with messages. Every keystroke in a text field, results in a console message. I presume that this is not intentional but it's an absolute no go. Addition: Other reviewers reported, that they get "WordsCharactersReading time" output. This seems to affect richtext editors, like TinyMCE for example, that use an iframe for text input. As the output div for the plugin gets attached to *every* body tag found on the page, it also gets attached to the body of the richtext editor's iframe. But, as the iframe does not have access to the css of the surrounding page, the div doesnt't get styled properly. Simple solution would be to attach only to the first body tag of a page.

Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/26/2021 Nicely helpful. This extension is a notch above the all-too-many similar ones, but the pop-up is either out of easy visual range in the lower right or blocks my vision in a frequently used upper right zone. What is great about this extension is that it does a "live" count vs a click-and-see. I doubt many will need the Counting time. I've noticed that it doesn't work in Reader View extension renditions. My other counter works in one of the readers. Additional feature is that clicking icon will pop up an editing box, and let's you "remember text" (save) so that you can add more text later. It gives you a Markdown function for those in-the-know. I very much like the author's "Pastel New Tab" extension too.
