Measure, compare, or practice.
A word counter measures one draft, a text diff reviews changes between two drafts, and a typing test measures a timed attempt.
Use Word Counter for a document
Paste or type a draft to see words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and estimated reading and speaking time. The estimate is a planning aid based on a pace, not a promise about a particular reader.

Compare text by line, word, or character, then decide whether the original or changed side wins in each change group. The result is one merged draft or a unified diff you can use elsewhere.

WPM is based on five-character words over elapsed minutes. Raw WPM counts all typed characters; adjusted WPM accounts for mistakes. Accuracy compares correct keystrokes with the total typed.
Example
In 30 seconds, 150 typed characters equal 60 raw WPM: 150 ÷ 5 ÷ 0.5. Errors lower adjusted WPM and accuracy.
Choose the result, not the biggest number
A 600-word draft describes document length. A 60 WPM result describes a timed typing run. A text diff does not score either draft; it shows what changed and lets you assemble the version to keep.
