A simple word counting tool
Sometimes when you are doing a little writing…whether its for school or some other project, you need to count the words you are writing. You can write up what you are writing then go back and count each word yourself. If you are using Microsoft Word or any similar text editor you the counting is done for you. Most blogging platforms don’t have that option. This is quick and easy, but is probably good to bookmark for that time when you may need it. A cut & paste word counter.
You can find it at this URL
http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/charcount.shtml
Here all you have to do is copy and paste what you are typing into the box and it will count the words for you. There is even code on the website if you want to embed the script into your website.

That’s a petty useful code thanks I usually open up microsoft word for a check, but have bookmarked the link now cheers.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:40 am
When I’m blogging and need to count the words, I just copy and paste my article to MS Word and use the word count. However the javascriptkit you shared looks so promising, I think I’m going to try this, too!
April 6th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Glad that it’s cut-and-paste…I’m so much of a “script-kiddie” that I don’t need too much more than that. Thanks for the tip.
April 8th, 2009 at 4:24 am
That’s a pretty useful link for those of us running on older, slower machines. MS Word can sometimes be unwieldy, especially if all you need to do is count words. Sites like this therefore are pretty appreciated.
April 8th, 2009 at 5:05 am
I am a freelancer and my job is to create articles, website content and so on. I´ve searched such a tool for a long time and I will try it.
Thanks!
April 10th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Great tool. I’ve wasted too much time by word counting manually. Thanks!
April 10th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Hmm, gud tool, but i guess microsoft wud have some better feature we dont know
April 12th, 2009 at 4:35 am
This is great tool to use especially when there’s no MS Word available for use. I find this extra useful because I am always using different computers when working. Thanks for sharing this simple but helpful tool.
April 14th, 2009 at 1:27 am
Very nice idea. Noone will probably need it on the regular basis but once in a while when you don’t have Word or OpenOffice installed it might be a great service. I like the simple design.
April 16th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
I use Ms word too, but this is useful when i´m working on others computers.

It’s nice to know this things are around. But I think it only counts characters, not words also?

I have several papers to write for my assignments. They must be 250
words or more. I need a word count tool. Where do I get one for free?
please help!
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:14 am
Great tool. I use it all the time. I do pay postings on a couple of my own blogs and my wordpress blog has a built in counter. My blogger.com doesn’t have a word counter and so I use this tool all the time to verify length. I feel its easier then opening up word to check my word count.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Dude, I love stuff like this!!! Thanks for the resource.

It is so simple yet so effective! I can’t belive noone’s thought of that before. Except for people who designed word of course.

Word count is important in many places. It also requires some writing skill to manage to put the exactly number of words demanded.
April 28th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
This is a great tool. this simple counter has been a long time coming. thanks.

May 12th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Thanks for sharing this tool. It’s great to see how many words are in an article - as it’s helpful to work towards a target. For me - I generally keep my blog posts around 300-500 words.

I’ve got a document with complex tables and diagrams and wanted to know if the Word Count tool includes the words in these diagrams & tables.
May 20th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Very nice idea. Noone will probably need it on the regular basis but once in a while when you don’t have Word or OpenOffice installed it might be a great service.
May 21st, 2009 at 1:41 am
Heh. I have been using that for ages. The first thing what I did when I had to count words on my articles, was to google “word counter” and that popped up. Can’t believe everyone does not do that

this is the best way to count the words i like it thanks dear for sharing this
May 27th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Well if you’re cutting and pasting anyway, I just copy the text into Word. That way I get a bonus spell check thrown in.
May 28th, 2009 at 6:31 am
i found this way much better then any other
May 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
wordpress does it for you =]
May 29th, 2009 at 2:51 am
this is very impressive you can easily count the words
May 29th, 2009 at 7:47 am
Great tool. I’d much rather use this than fire up Open Office and wait 3 minutes for it to load.
May 30th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Been looking for a simple program to count words. I will certainly check it out.
June 2nd, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Hey, that’s pretty handy - thanks!
I wonder if anyone has tried to do this to count phrases and not just keywords? Not quite sure how that would work, but it would be cool, I think.
June 3rd, 2009 at 1:42 am
This article gives the light in which we can observe the reality. this is very nice one and gives indepth information. thanks for this nice article
June 4th, 2009 at 1:32 am
great article i like your article……
June 8th, 2009 at 5:22 am
I always use Word to write something, and check the number of words there. It would be much easier if this gets implemented in blog software.
June 8th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
great article and tips in here. but i never really thought that word count does matter in blogs. i just that that you just go with what you are writing and never mind the words. (www.kika.ca)
June 12th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Thanks for this script, I think i will try it, I’m lazy to write a lot.

June 17th, 2009 at 10:02 am
Really good idea, sometimes it is useful to know this type of thing
June 18th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
I’m off Thursday afternoons, so I like to surf around different blogs and read posts that catch my eye. Your post really hit home for me. I was not sure how I felt about it at first but after reading your post I think I would have to agree. Just wondering though? What exactly did you mean at the end in the last paragraph?
June 20th, 2009 at 1:02 am
Great tool to use when the computer you’re on doesn’t have Microsoft Word indeed, thanks for this, will keep it in mind. (My school library doesn’t have word……yeah, they are dumb).
June 20th, 2009 at 7:31 am
Sounds like a really useful tool. Thaks for the link Il download it now
June 21st, 2009 at 12:56 am
Very innovative! thanks for sharing the tips which will prove to be very helpful in future as well
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Thank you for this tool. Exactly what I’m looking for. Although I’ve been using Open Office word counter sub app, it’s a hassle to open it, load it, then count, and copy and paste. Thanks again, you just saved me valuable time on my blog writing.
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:15 am

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
this is great. I use wordpress for writing everything, even if i’m not posting it on my blog about Sedona, Arizona. this is because it counts the words as you write. you don’t even have to click a word counter button! then i just paste it wherever i need the writing to go. but your script is great, does the same thing!

We cannot underestimate the importance of a word counting tool, specially for blogging. Don’t some word counting tools come with spelling and grammar checkers, too?

I’ve been looking for a tool like this to help with content writing. etc. Nice post - thanks for the resource!

August 16th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Thanks for script!

August 24th, 2009 at 2:58 am
The script only counts characters and not words
I was thinking of implementing a Javascript based word count, but it’s too much work. I can’t simply count the number of occurences of spaces as a double-space would count as two words. A trailing space or a leading space would cause an incorrect word count too. They ought to make word-count a built-in function in a Javascript library as it’s something that is used so commonly these days.
