Word Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, and estimate reading time — instantly, as you type.
Frequently asked questions
Does this word counter store or upload my text?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser via JavaScript — your text is never sent to a server.
How is reading time calculated?
We estimate reading time at 200 words per minute, a common average adult silent-reading speed.
Does it count words in other languages?
Yes, it splits on whitespace and punctuation, so it works reasonably well for most space-delimited languages.
