Word and Character Counter

Drop any block of text below to see live counts for words, characters and sentences, plus an estimated reading time. Text stays in your browser.

How to use

1. Paste the passage or draft you want to measure.
2. Watch the counts change as you edit — no button to press.
3. Use the reading-time figure (200 words per minute) to size an email, a landing page block or a social post.

Frequently asked questions

Which language is supported?

Any language whose words are separated by whitespace. Reading time is a rough average and skews slow for dense technical prose.

Does copy-paste keep formatting?

The counter only reads plain text — headings and formatting from a rich editor are stripped when you paste into the box.

Is the text uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs inside this page; there is no fetch call for the counter.
