Beyond a Number:
A Deep Analysis of Your Content

Word counting seems simple, but in SEO and professional writing, the details are everything. Our proprietary algorithm (TexaPro™ Engine) understands the subtle differences between languages. Unlike traditional tools that misidentify Persian punctuation or zero-width non-joiners (ZWNJ) as word separators, we understand the real structure of the Persian language.

  • done_all

    99.9% Accuracy in Persian

    Precise detection of ZWNJ (zero-width non-joiner) and compound words — a major challenge for English-based counters like MS Word.

  • record_voice_over

    Speech Timer

    Convert text length to exact speaking duration for podcasters and presenters (based on the standard 130 words per minute).

Content Length Guide for 2024

play_circle Words to Seconds: Video Marketing

YouTube Shorts / Reels Max 60 Sec

For fast-paced, viral short-form videos, you have only 130–150 words. Every extra word risks losing your audience.

Ideal count: 140 words
YouTube Standard 10 Min Video

A standard educational YouTube video at an average speaking pace requires a tight 1,300–1,500-word script.

Full script: 1,500 words
TED Talk Style 18 Min Talk

Iconic TED Talks run about 18 minutes. That means you need exactly 2,500 words in your script.

Why Video Scripts
Fail on Camera

The biggest mistake content creators make is eyeballing the length. A script that looks short on paper can blow past your time limit the moment you step in front of the camera.

Our word counter is powered by a Speech-Timing engine calibrated to broadcasting standards. We understand the difference between a fast-paced ad narration (160 wpm) and a slow, analytical podcast (120 wpm).

  • Every 60 seconds of video ≈ 130–140 words
  • Each Instagram Story (15 sec) ≈ 35 words
  • TV commercials (30 sec) ≈ 60–70 words (fast pace)

The Exact Science of
Email Marketing

Your subscribers' inboxes are crowded. You have less than 3 seconds to grab attention. Content length here can be the difference between open and delete.

Security & Privacy

Unlike many online tools that send your text to a server for processing (risking content exposure), our Word Counter is 100% client-side.

Your text never leaves your browser. Even if you disconnect from the internet, the tool keeps working. Perfect for confidential, legal, or personal documents.

The Word Economy:
What's Each Word Worth?

In the freelance marketplace, pricing is typically word-based. But do you know the global and local industry standards? Accurate word counting is the line between profit and loss.

SEO Content Writing

The most common model. Packages typically come in 500, 1,000, and 2,000-word tiers. If you write 1,105 words, does the client pay for the extra 105? Our tool helps you stop exactly on target.

Translation

In translation, the target text is usually longer or shorter than the source. Persian translated from English typically expands by 20–30% (expansion ratio). This is critical for final pricing.

manage_search Keyword Density

One of the most critical Google ranking factors is the balanced use of keywords. Keyword stuffing triggers Google's spam filters (Panda, BERT) and can get your site penalized.

The 2024 Golden Formula

  • Safe Zone: 1% - 2.5%
  • Danger Zone: > 4%
  • LSI Keywords: Natural distribution

* Our tool automatically analyzes your top 5 most-repeated words so you never accidentally over-optimize.

Content Authority Through
Semantic SEO

In the pre-AI era, stuffing a keyword 100 times into a 1,000-word article was a shortcut to the top. Today, Google looks for Concepts, not keyword counts.

Our word counter filters out stop words (like 'the', 'a', 'in') to focus on the core vocabulary. If your primary keyword exceeds 3% density, replace some instances with synonyms. That's the secret to writing unique, rank-worthy content.

Global Standards for Book Writing

If you dream of writing a book, you need to know the publisher's rules.

1k - 5k
Short Story

Short story. Perfect for literary magazines and writing competitions.

10k - 40k
Novella

A shorter novel — like The Little Prince or Animal Farm.

50k - 110k
Novel

The standard novel. Most bestsellers (Harry Potter) fall in this range.

110k+
Epic / Sag

Epic saga — like Lord of the Rings or War and Peace. High publishing risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about our counting methods and algorithms

No. Our Smart ZWNJ Detection algorithm treats the zero-width non-joiner as part of the word. So 'می‌شود' counts as one word, not two. This precision is missing in most foreign tools like Google Docs.

Absolutely not. All processing happens in real-time inside your browser. No data is ever sent to our servers — your privacy is 100% guaranteed.

MS Word sometimes counts punctuation attached to words (like 'hello,') separately. We use the pure Unicode standard — the most precise engineering approach to counting.

Some platforms (like SMS panels) charge per character including spaces, while translators are typically paid per character excluding spaces. We show you both figures.
