Use this online word counter to count words and characters instantly while you type or paste text. It also measures sentences, paragraphs, lines, unique words, reading time, speaking time, and the most frequently used words.

What This Word Counter Measures

The main totals cover words, visible characters, characters without whitespace, sentences, paragraphs, and lines. Additional statistics show vocabulary variety, average word and sentence length, the longest word, estimated reading and speaking time, and the ten most used words.

How to Use the Word Counter

  1. Type, paste, or load a text file into the editor.
  2. Review the live word, character, sentence, paragraph, line, and time statistics.
  3. Copy the text, or download the most-used words table as a CSV file.

Multilingual Word and Character Counting

The counter recognizes word boundaries in languages that do not always separate words with spaces, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Mixed-language text is supported, although exact word segmentation can vary by browser and language.

Common Uses

Check essay and assignment limits, measure articles and product copy, estimate the duration of a speech or script, and review captions, emails, and other short text before publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the word counter count words?

The counter uses language-aware word boundaries when available. Numbers count as words, and apostrophes inside words are usually kept together. Exact treatment of compounds can vary by language and browser.

What is included in the character count?

The Characters total includes letters, numbers, punctuation, spaces, and line breaks. Characters Without Spaces removes whitespace before counting. Emoji and combined Unicode characters count as visible characters when the browser supports it.

How are reading and speaking times estimated?

Reading time uses 225 words per minute, while speaking time uses 130 words per minute. These are practical estimates; actual pace varies by reader, speaker, language, and subject.
