Live stats for words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, plus reading and speaking time—typed or pasted, updated on every keystroke. Nothing leaves your browser; there is no upload step.

Tell us whether the Word Counter workflow felt clear, or report what slowed you down.
Course rubrics, SEO briefs, ad platforms, and journal submission forms all speak in lengths. A dedicated counter lets you tune drafts without keeping a heavy document editor open—handy in Slack threads, narrow CMS textareas, or lightweight note apps. Separating “characters with spaces” from “no spaces” also mirrors how some APIs, SMS gateways, and legacy forms enforce caps.
Reading time at 200 wpm tracks what readers expect from Medium-style estimates; speaking time at 130 wpm helps map a script to a ten-minute slot without a stopwatch. Pair this page with the case converter when titles arrive in shouting caps, or the whitespace cleaner when paste-ins carry PDF junk spacing that inflates character totals.
Paste exactly this single line (six words, predictable punctuation):
One two three. Four five six.
Words gate long-form content and academic limits. Characters—usually including spaces—gate tweets, meta descriptions, SMS, and some ad lines. Stripped counts help compare the “payload” of two drafts when spaces differ. Neither metric tells you quality; they only keep you inside the box the channel gives you.
If you are chasing a strict word ceiling, trim sections in your editor first, then verify here. If you chase a character ceiling, toggle between Characters and No Spaces to see whether whitespace is eating your budget.
Whitespace splits the input; empty tokens are skipped. Other stats derive from the same string locally—no server involved.
Yes. Characters counts everything you typed; No Spaces removes whitespace first.
No. Counting runs entirely in the browser; nothing is uploaded for analysis.
Yes—any plain text: essays, newsletters, captions, talking points, or spec outlines.
200 words per minute for silent reading, 130 wpm for spoken delivery—both round up to whole minutes.
