About the Word & Character Counter

Counts words, characters, sentences and paragraphs as you type, and estimates how long the text takes to read aloud or silently. Useful for essays with a word limit, meta descriptions, and checking whether an article is long enough to be worth publishing.

Frequently asked questions

Does it count characters with or without spaces?+

Both. The main tile shows the total including spaces, and the smaller row below shows the count without them - which is what most form limits actually measure.

How is reading time calculated?+

At 225 words per minute for silent reading and 130 for speaking aloud, which are the usual averages for adult readers.
