Tally Text Selection Counter by Kody

Ever wondered how long an article section really is? Or whether your draft paragraph hits 150 words? Just select it.

Tally shows a small floating badge the moment you highlight text — word count, characters, and how long it takes to read. No clicking, no copying, no switching tabs. Deselect and it's gone.

WHAT SHOWS UP

📝 Words — counted across your entire selection
🔢 Characters — total including spaces (useful for character limits)
⏱ Read time — estimated from your reading speed setting

READING SPEED

Match the badge to how fast you actually read:

→ 150 WPM — Slow, careful reading
→ 200 WPM — Comfortable average (default)
→ 250 WPM — Fast reader
→ 300 WPM — Rapid / speed reading

Change it anytime from the extension popup.

WORKS EVERYWHERE

Articles, blog posts, Wikipedia, Google Docs, emails, code comments — any text you can highlight on any webpage. The badge floats near your selection and stays out of your way.

GETTING STARTED

No setup needed. Install, highlight text, done.
Use the toolbar icon to adjust reading speed or disable Tally temporarily.
