About the Word & Character Counter

The Word & Character Counter gives you live counts of words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs as you type, plus reading time, speaking time, keyword density, and readability scores โ€” everything writers, students, and SEOs need in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time uses an average adult reading speed of about 200-250 words per minute. The counter divides your total word count by that rate to estimate reading time, and shows speaking time using a slower spoken pace.

What counts as a word?

A word is any sequence of characters separated by spaces or line breaks. The counter also reports characters with and without spaces, sentences, and paragraphs so you can meet precise limits.

Can it help with character limits for social media?

Yes. It shows a live character count you can match against limits like X/Twitter posts, meta descriptions, or SMS, so you know instantly when you are over.

Is my text private?

Yes. All counting happens in your browser โ€” nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
