About Word & Character Counter
Word & Character Counter is a dedicated text & document processing utility engineered to provide fast, reliable, and private functionality directly inside your web browser. Operating as part of Public Media Tool's suite of free utilities, Word & Character Counter specializes in instant real-time word, character, sentence, paragraph, and reading time counter.
