Counting that updates as you type
What it measures
You get the word count, characters with and without spaces, sentence and paragraph counts, line count, and an estimated reading time. Everything recalculates instantly as you edit, so it's handy for essays, social posts with limits, SEO meta text, and subtitles.
How reading time is estimated
Reading time assumes an average of about 200 words per minute, a common benchmark for adult silent reading. It's a quick estimate, not an exact figure, since pace varies with difficulty and reader.
Frequently asked questions
Does the count include spaces?
Characters are shown both with and without spaces so you can use whichever a platform requires.
How are sentences counted?
By counting sentence-ending punctuation (. ! ?). Unusual punctuation may affect the estimate.
Is there a character limit?
No — paste as much text as you like; it all runs locally.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser.
