QBMFX Word count and reading time
Count words and characters in entered text or supported local text-based files, then estimate reading time using a chosen words-per-minute rate. This helps prepare articles, notes and freelance deliverables before editing or quotation. The estimate describes text volume rather than the time needed to understand difficult material, diagrams or unfamiliar terminology. Book centers, freelancers and developers can use this free local workspace without a login or paid conversion API. Keep the original and inspect the downloaded result.
Choose your files and review the settings.
Keep originals and inspect the result before printing. File changes clear previous downloads. Heavy image and OCR work can take longer on a phone.
Using Word count and reading time
- Enter text or choose PDF or text files.
- Set the reading speed used for the estimate.
- Create the count report and review extraction quality.
Behind the result
Available text is segmented into words and characters. Reading time is calculated from the chosen speed rather than measured from an actual reader.
Free tools for everyday work
Book centers, photocopy shops, freelancers and developers can use this workspace without a paid plan or account. Files are processed locally. Prepare website resources from offline setup before disconnecting; Urdu/OCR also needs the separate pack above.
The Windows app currently includes the original four tools. The expanded tools are available on the website; app and extension updates will be separate releases.
Answers and practical details
Count consistency
Different editors can count hyphenated words, symbols and non-space-separated languages differently. Use one consistent method for a formal requirement.
Price and accounts
This website workflow is free without a login, subscription or paid conversion tier. Your browser supplies the processing memory and CPU.
Local file handling
Selected documents and generated results are processed on your device. QBMFX does not upload them to a conversion server or save them in a customer database. Hosting, advertising and opening external links are separate network activity.
Offline preparation
Prepare the supported website resources while connected, wait for the ready status and test the workflow before disconnecting. OCR, advanced PDF processing or fonts can need an additional local resource pack. Browser cleanup can remove saved resources.
Installed app availability
The Microsoft Store app and Edge package currently contain the original four tools. Website additions require a separate installed-package release and do not update those packages automatically.
