Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time in real-time.
The Word Counter provides real-time quantitative analysis of written text, calculating word counts, character counts (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, estimated reading duration, and speaking time as you type or paste content.
Accepts arbitrary text strings, essays, blog drafts, articles, or social media posts in UTF-8 format.
Displays dynamic numerical statistics for word count, characters (with spaces), characters (without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, reading time, and speaking time.

All text processing executes directly in browser memory. Draft essays, private correspondence, and manuscripts are never stored on or transmitted to any server.
Reading time uses standard adult silent reading benchmarks (200 WPM) and speaking time uses average conversational speed (130 WPM), which may vary by speaker.
Words are identified by matching sequences of alphanumeric characters separated by whitespace, hyphens, or punctuation marks.
Reading duration is estimated based on an average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute, rounded to the nearest minute.
