Online Free Word Count Tool On Internet

July 10, 2009 by Gautam

Not everybody has Microsoft word installed on their system. I’m actually typing this post out from my server. It’s a quickie, I found some thing really cool and wanted to share with all my readers.

While working on the company server (Microsoft Windows 2003) I had to check the word count of an article I was glancing through. Don’t ask me why :).

If it was my laptop, I’d open Microsoft word, select highlight the content and press Alt + T + W . But now the problem was, Microsoft Office was not installed on the server I was working on.

I love situations like this, which otherwise I would not encounter in my day to day life, which helped me bump into a cool site.

If in case you ever face a similar situation, you use this fast and free online word counting tool :

http://www.wordcounttool.com/

You get the answer real quick, it’s a simple Javascript, but really a handy tool :). A real cool find which I’ll use more often now 🙂

Now it’s time for online character count tool 😉 .. may be I’ll write one 🙂

**Update**

This tool is very handy for Wordpad users as Wordpad doesn’t have inbuilt word count feature.

    I found a site with a JavaScript code for online word calculator so that you can build it in on your web page: http://javascript.internet.com/forms/word-count.html
    but would need somebody to help tweak a little bit, since I would also like to have the number of lines.
    Also looking for a possibility to multiply the result with, say, a word price to generate an order or quote request form for translations. Any help greatly appreciated. Thx

    I found a site called goformat.com which has the same tool but it’s automatic and it also counts characters…
