What is Word & Character Counter?
Word & Character Counter calculates comprehensive real-time statistics for any text passage. It tracks total words, characters (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, estimated speaking/reading times, and top keyword frequency density.
Unlike legacy online utilities that upload sensitive media and documents to remote cloud storage, Shadow Toolkit executes this entire operation directly within your browser's local runtime. Your raw data never crosses the network.
