About the word counter

Paste any text and the counter shows words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time. Useful for staying under blog limits, hitting essay word counts, or estimating how long a script will run.

Frequently asked questions

How is reading time calculated?

We assume 230 words per minute, the average for adults reading non-technical English. Switch to 'speaking time' for 150 words per minute, the pace of a clear presenter.

Are spaces counted as characters?

We show both. Twitter counts characters with spaces; SMS counts without - pick the column that matches your destination.
