Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in any text. Get estimated reading and speaking time. Useful for content writers, SEO professionals, students, and anyone who needs to measure text length.

How to Use

  3. View word count, character count (with/without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, and time estimates.

How It Works

Words are split on whitespace. Reading time uses the average of 200 words per minute. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute. Sentences are counted by punctuation marks (., !, ?). Paragraphs are split on double line breaks.
