But it does more than just basic counting. As you write, it will gently underline any spelling or grammar mistakes it finds. Plus, if you’re curious about which words you use most, just check the list of frequently used keywords that appears on the right.
This tool is especially handy for writing for the web. You can easily check if your text fits within common limits, like Twitter’s character count (140), a Google meta description (300), or a standard Facebook post (around 250 characters).
Working on something longer, like a blog post, article, or school paper? Once your text gets a bit longer (over 360 characters), the counter will also start showing you the number of sentences, paragraphs, and even pages. It’s perfect for keeping those longer projects on track.
