Word Counter
Type or paste any text to see live word, character, sentence and reading-time counts update as you go. Reading time is estimated at about 200 words per minute, a common average adult silent-reading speed, rounded up to the nearest minute. Sentences are counted as groups of text ending in a period, exclamation point or question mark, an estimate rather than a full grammar parser, so unusual punctuation can shift the count by one or two. Everything happens instantly in your browser; nothing you type is sent to a server.
