Word Goal Tracker

Summary

Paste or type your text, set a target word count, and watch your progress bar, page estimate, and reading time update instantly.

How it works

1. Paste or type your text into the large textarea.
2. Set your target word count using the number input (default: 1000 words).
3. The tool counts your words instantly as you type.
4. A progress bar fills toward your goal, turning green when you hit it.
5. Stats panels show words remaining, completion percentage, estimated pages, and reading time.

Use cases

• Track progress on a blog post, essay, or article toward a word count target.
• Monitor NaNoWriMo or daily writing goals without switching apps.
• Estimate how many pages your draft will be when printed.
• Check reading time to gauge content length before publishing.
• Use as a live word counter when writing assignments with minimum requirements.
• Set custom goals for different project types — 500 words for a blog, 5000 for a chapter.
