What this tool counts
Live word, character, sentence, paragraph, line, reading-time, and speaking-time estimates are calculated entirely in your browser.
Counting rules
Words are letter or number sequences. Apostrophes stay inside words, and hyphenated words count as one by default. Sentence detection is an estimate; Unicode word boundaries and language-specific casing can vary.
How to use
- Type or paste text.
- Review the live statistics.
- Adjust the counting options if needed.
- Copy or download your text locally.
Privacy and limitations
Your text stays in your browser and is never uploaded or automatically saved. Reading time uses 225 words per minute, speaking time uses 130 words per minute, and both are estimates.
Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
Letter and number sequences count as words; internal apostrophes and optional hyphens stay attached.
Do numbers count as words?
Yes by default; you can turn that option off.
How is reading time calculated?
It uses an estimate of 225 words per minute.
Why might sentence count differ from a word processor?
Sentence detection is a lightweight punctuation-based estimate.
Practical guide
When to use it
Use it to check a draft against a word or character limit, or to estimate the length of a talk, article, or script.
Three steps
- Paste or write the draft.
- Review the live word and character totals.
- Adjust the counting options if your brief treats numbers or hyphenated words differently.
Example and a common mistake
A 900-word presentation script is roughly four minutes at the displayed speaking-rate estimate.
Reading and speaking times are estimates, not a guarantee for a particular audience or delivery pace.
