How the word and character counter works

Type or paste text into the box and every stat below it updates live: word count, total characters, characters excluding spaces, sentence count, and an estimated read time based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute.

It's built for situations with a hard limit — a tweet, a meta description, a college essay word count, or a video caption — where you need an exact, instant count rather than opening a full word processor.

Common uses

  • Checking essay or assignment word counts before submitting
  • Staying under character limits for social posts or ad copy
  • Estimating how long a script or speech will take to read aloud
  • Cleaning up text length for meta descriptions and titles
