Try WordcountHQ to perform word counting and other text analysis on all the text you pasted or typed, as well as on a subsection of the text but selecting it with your mouse or keyboard.

Our users find the selection feature very useful to get the word counts of a section of a larger text, or to make some changes, like changing the casing of a subsection of the text.

A common scenario that we see is users pasting a long text and then selecting a portion of the text, to get the details of the part that they are interested in. You can copy this selection and use it in social media or wherever you need it.

Give it a try, we are sure you will enjoy using Selection as much as we do. Let us know on Twitter what you use the selection feature for.
