Free word counter. Paste text to count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs, and see estimated reading and speaking time. Private, in your browser.
Enter your values and select Calculate to see the result.
Essays, posts, adverts and applications often have word or character limits. Counting by hand is slow and error-prone, especially for long text.
Paste your text and the counter shows words, characters with and without spaces, sentences and paragraphs, along with estimated reading and speaking times. The text stays in your browser and is not sent to a server. Languages written without spaces, such as Chinese or Japanese, will show a low word count.
words are runs of text separated by whitespace; reading time = words ÷ 225 per minute
A 450-word article takes about 2 minutes to read and about 3.5 minutes to say aloud.
A word is any run of characters separated by spaces, tabs or line breaks. Hyphenated words and numbers each count as one word.
Reading time assumes about 225 words per minute, and speaking time about 130 words per minute. Real speeds vary by person and by how difficult the text is.
No. The counting happens in your browser and your text is not uploaded or stored.
Those languages do not separate words with spaces, so the word count will be much lower than the real number. The character count is still accurate.
