Chapter Word Count

A smart dashboard for Google Docs™ that tracks word counts, character counts, and reading time for every chapter—and lets you navigate between them instantly.

How it Works

Writing a novel or report requires balancing the pacing of your sections. This add-on scans your document structure (Headings 1 through 4) to build a live interactive dashboard.

Key Features:
  • 🧭 Click-to-Navigate: The sidebar acts as an interactive map. Click any chapter title to instantly scroll your document to that exact spot.
  • ⏱️ Reading Time Estimates: Automatically calculates how long it will take to read your document (e.g., "5.2 hr read") based on standard reading speeds.
  • 📑 Deep Structure Support: Detects not just Chapter titles (Heading 1), but also sub-sections (Heading 2, 3, and 4) for granular tracking.
  • 📊 Detailed Stats: Tracks both Word Counts and Character Counts for every individual section.
  • 🔒 Privacy First: Your manuscript is analyzed locally within your active session. No text is ever stored or sent to external servers.
