About this tool

Word Counter counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and reading time on any block of pasted text. It is designed for writers who want a fast, calm count without uploading a manuscript to a third-party service. The count is live: every keystroke updates the totals. The page also reports reading time at 230 words per minute — a reasonable average for prose — and speaking time at 130 wpm. Both rates can be tuned. The page makes no network requests while you type.

When to use it

  • Checking whether an essay, blog post, or abstract is within a word limit before submitting
  • Estimating reading time for a Medium-style article before publishing
  • Counting words for billing on freelance writing jobs
  • Counting characters for a tweet, a meta description, or a translation budget

When not to use it

  • You need a full editor with revision history — use a real writing app
  • You need linguistic analysis (POS tagging, sentiment) — this counts, it does not analyse
  • You need a word count of a PDF or image — paste the text in, the tool cannot read binary inputs

Frequently asked questions

How does the counter split words?

On whitespace. Any run of spaces, tabs, or newlines between non-whitespace tokens is one separator. Punctuation attached to a word (it's, don't, U.S.A.) counts as part of the word — matching the convention used by Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and most prose editors.

Does it count hyphenated words as one or two?

One. state-of-the-art is a single token because there are no spaces inside it. If you need two words, separate them with a space.

Where does the 230 wpm reading time come from?

It is a long-standing average for silent reading of adult prose in a person's first language, from the original work by Brysbaert in 2019. You can change the rate if your audience reads faster or slower.
