Paste or type any text to instantly see word count, character count, sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time.
Words are counted as runs of non-whitespace characters separated by spaces, tabs, or line breaks. Sentences are detected by terminal punctuation (periods, question marks, exclamation points). Paragraphs are counted as blocks of text separated by a blank line. Reading time assumes a typical silent-reading pace of 200 words per minute.
Reading time is estimated using an average adult silent-reading speed of about 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute.
The main character count includes spaces and punctuation. A separate "no spaces" figure is also shown for limits that exclude whitespace.
No. All counting happens locally in your browser as you type or paste. Your text is never sent to a server.
