Paste your draft and every count updates as you type: words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and lines. Nothing is sent anywhere — the counting happens in the page.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text into the box.
- Watch the counts update as you edit; there is no button to press.
- Use Clear when you want to start again with an empty box.
Good to know
- Reading time uses 220 words a minute and speaking time 130 — common averages for English.
- Words are counted by whitespace, so a hyphenated word such as "well-known" counts once.

Frequently asked questions
Does the word counter store my text?
No. The count happens in your browser and the text is never sent to a server.
How is reading time calculated?
Words are divided by 220 per minute for reading and 130 per minute for speaking, then rounded up to whole minutes.
