Word and Character Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, and estimate reading time. Free online text analyzer.
Key Capabilities
What metrics does the word counter provide?
The tool counts total words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and unique words. It also estimates reading time (based on 200-250 words per minute average reading speed) and speaking time (based on 130 words per minute).
Who uses this tool professionally?
Content writers verify word counts meet publisher requirements and SEO guidelines. Students check essay word counts against assignment minimum/maximum requirements. Social media managers verify character counts fit platform limits (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram bio).
Does it handle different languages?
Yes. The word counter works with all languages that use space-separated words (English, Spanish, French, German, etc.). For CJK languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), character counting is accurate but word counting may differ due to script-specific word boundaries.
Is my text kept private?
Yes. All counting happens locally in your browser. Text is never sent to any server.
