Simply write your text on the built-in word processor or copy and paste the text you want to analyse.<br \/>\nWordCounter immediately shows you the number of words, but also the number of characters, sentences, paragraphs \u2026 You will also discover the density of the most used words or an estimated time needed to read the text.<br \/>\nLink: <a title=\"Wordcounter\" href=\"https:\/\/wordcounter.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WordCounter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measure\"><\/span>Measure.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5517\" src=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Image-2018-08-05-at-12.13.16-AM.png\" alt=\"measure\" width=\"519\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Image-2018-08-05-at-12.13.16-AM.png 597w, https:\/\/outilstice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Image-2018-08-05-at-12.13.16-AM-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As the name suggests, this third tool does only one thing, but it does it well. It measures texts on the fly. This is again an extension for chromium. Once installed on your browser, simply highlight one or more sentences of a text and immediately Measure shows you the number of words that compose it or more precisely the number of characters.
