TexSense | Overleaf LaTeX Word Counter by Yingan Wang

The easiest way to do word count live on Overleaf, without recompiling your pdf constantly.

TexSense shows your real-time body word count directly inside Overleaf while you write, and helps you track meaningful writing progress while working on LaTeX papers.

Say goodbye to manual terminal commands and guesswork. TexSense automatically reads your editor state and computes meaningful writing statistics — ignoring titles, captions, mathematical blocks, and bibliography sections.

As you type new sentences, the counter updates instantly, helping you stay aware of your writing progress without interrupting your workflow.

Designed for academic writing, research papers, and technical documentation.
