Count words and characters as you type
Paste or type text to see words, characters, sentences, and a rough reading-time estimate. Everything stays in the page — we do not store your draft.
How to use it
- Paste or type into the box.
- Read live counts as you edit.
- Use the numbers for essays, captions, or SEO drafts.
When it helps
School word limits, social captions, meta descriptions, and checking reading time before you publish.
FAQ
- How are words counted?
- By splitting on whitespace and common separators. Different tools may differ slightly on hyphenated terms.
- Do you save my text?
- No. Counts update locally in your browser session.
- Is reading time exact?
- It is an estimate based on average reading speed, not a guarantee.
- Does it work offline?
- After the page loads, counting does not need a server.
- Character limit vs words?
- Some platforms cap characters (Twitter-style); essays often cap words — check both when needed.
