GDocsPlus : Google Docs Word Counter

Track Your Writing Progress with GDocsPlus Word Count Tracker

One of the biggest challenges writers face is keeping track of their progress. Whether you’re drafting an essay, preparing a blog post, or polishing marketing copy, it’s easy to lose sight of how much you’ve written and how close you are to your target. That’s where the Word Count Tracker in GDocsPlus comes in.

Real-Time Word & Character Count

No more guessing or manually checking your word count. GDocsPlus updates your total word and character count in real time as you type. This gives you instant feedback, helping you stay on top of your progress without breaking your flow.

Custom Writing Goals

Need to hit 500 words for an article or 1,200 words for an assignment? Simply set a writing goal in GDocsPlus, and the tracker will display your progress as both a percentage and a progress bar. Watching the bar fill up is a powerful motivator that keeps you pushing forward.

Selected Text Counts

One of the standout features is the ability to count only the words in a highlighted section. Just select a paragraph or group of sentences in your Google Doc, and GDocsPlus will instantly tell you the word count for that selection. This is perfect for:

  • Making sure each section of your writing meets length requirements.
  • Checking if a paragraph is too long or too short.
  • Optimizing specific sections for SEO or readability.

Why It Matters

The Word Count Tracker doesn’t just measure words — it helps you manage your workflow. By breaking big projects into smaller milestones, you can stay motivated, avoid burnout, and write with greater clarity and focus.
