Word Counter

Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in your text.

Quick Answer & Summary

A Word and Character Counter is a real-time text analysis utility that computes granular document statistics, lexical density, and readability metrics as you type. It accurately counts total words, characters (with and without white spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and distinct unique words using Unicode-aware regular expression tokenizers. Additionally, it estimates silent reading time (calculated at an average 200–250 words per minute) and aloud speaking presentation durations (130–150 WPM) for public speeches, podcasts, and video scripts. Content writers, copywriters, essayists, and social media managers use this tool to verify character limits for Twitter/X posts, meta descriptions, LinkedIn summaries, and academic essays. Featuring automated sentence length analysis and case conversion helpers, all text processing occurs entirely within local browser memory, ensuring that your proprietary drafts, unpublished manuscripts, and confidential notes are never transmitted to or logged on remote servers.
