Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in your text
What is Word Counter?
Word Counter analyzes your text in real time, providing counts for words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs. It also estimates reading and speaking time. The tool runs entirely in your browser with no data sent to any server.
Key Features
Real-Time Statistics
Word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts update instantly as you type or paste text -- no button clicks needed.
Reading and Speaking Time
Estimates how long your text takes to read (at 200-250 WPM) and speak aloud (at 130-150 WPM), useful for presentations and content planning.
Dual Character Counts
Shows both total characters and characters without spaces, covering different platform requirements like Twitter, SMS, or meta descriptions.
Common Use Cases
Check essay or article length against word count requirements for school assignments or publication guidelines. Optimize meta descriptions and social media posts to fit platform character limits. Estimate presentation duration by checking the speaking time of your script or talking points.
