About Text Lens — Word & Character Counter

Text Lens turns any text into numbers you can act on — instantly, and without sending a single character anywhere. WHAT IT DOES - Counts characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences and paragraphs - Estimates reading time and speaking time - Shows average word and sentence length - Finds your most repeated words, so you can spot the ones you overuse - Transforms text: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, Sentence case - Cleans messy formatting: collapses double spaces, tidies line breaks, joins wrapped lines - Grabs the text you have selected on any page with one click - Copies the result back to your clipboard WHO IT IS FOR Writers checking length limits. Students hitting a word count. Copywriters trimming repetition. Speakers timing a talk. Anyone who has ever pasted text into a website just to count the words. PRIVACY Everything runs locally in your browser. There is no server, no account, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. Your text never leaves your device — the extension has no ability to send it anywhere. The extension remembers your text and language choice on your own computer so they are still there next time you open it. Clearing the box erases that immediately. PERMISSIONS - activeTab and scripting — used only when you press "Get selection from page", to read the text you have highlighted. The extension never runs on pages in the background. - storage — used only to remember your text and language locally. No access to your browsing history, no access to all websites, no remote code. LANGUAGES English and Polish. Switch with the button in the top right corner.
