Features & Capabilities

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.

User Reviews

Does exactly what it says, instantly! The box can be moved around, it is the perfect size, nice font. Just what I needed, finally no constant checking of word count through multiple clicks. Thanks! Will update if any issues show up. Also, you don't need to compile, it counts what you write, as you write.
