Publisher's description
From SuperMagnus Software :Word Counter is a Macintosh OS X application that performs a word count and a character count, but it can do much more. It can be used independently or in conjunction with other applications such as TextEdit, Microsoft Word, Pages, TextWrangler, and others.
Text can be typed, pasted, or dragged into the window. Word Counter can automatically update the count based on a user-defined time interval. It can show the progress achieved towards a set goal for the total number of words and characters. It also can perform bulk counts on multiple files and folders simply by dropping them onto the window. Word Counter can count the number of times a particular word appears in a document. 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 handle various file types including plain text (txt, text), rich text (rtf, rtfd), Hypertext Markup Language (htm, html), Microsoft Word (doc), Microsoft Word XML (wordml), Apple's web archive (webarchive), and others. This program may be useful for writing a manuscript or an abstract with a strict limit on the number of words or characters allowed.
What's new in this version:
- Added the ability to set a goal for words and characters and to track progress towards that goal
- Can now exclude minor words (e.g. "a", "of", "or", "the") from the count
- Can now close the main window without quitting the program
- Can now set default font sizes for the application
- Can now set whether the application should use plain or rich text as a default
- Now works with the BBEdit application
- Improved preferences window

Version: Word Counter 2.7
Cons: I need something to constantly tell me how many characters are in a box for filling out online forms. Often, as in the case of this form I'm filling out right now, they don't tell you how many you've typed in, but love to tell you when you've gone over the limit. I hate opening Word to do that.
This software makes you hit COUNT every time you want it to calculate which is a ridiculous oversight by the programmers.
