Word Counter
Converted text for finger counting
In a Paragraph
In a Table
How does it work?
So far I've got this list of common prefixes that can be hyphenated
Any text that begins with these prefixes hyphenated will be counted as one word.
Formatted numbers count as one word:
1.1 3.14159 12345.6789 £1,000,000.00 $1.000,99
Dates in numeric format count as one word:
1/2/19 1/02/2019 21-12-2019 2019-11-04
Times in numeric format count as one word:
23:59 00:00:01
Once all the special cases have been converted to single words, then all the remaining punctuation is replaced with a space. The words are then counted using space as the delimiter between words.
