It can even create a sortable summary table of all words in the document, with the number of times each word appears and the length of each word. Word Counter can count the number of times a particular word appears in a document. It also can perform bulk counts on multiple files and folders simply by dropping them onto the window.

It can be used independently or in conjunction with other applications such as TextEdit, Microsoft Word, Pages, TextWrangler, and others. Word Counter is an application that performs a word count and a character count, but it can do much more.
