Word Counter
Words, characters, reading time and readability at a glance.
About this tool
Count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs as you type, with reading and speaking time estimates plus a readability score. Built for writers checking a piece against a limit before submitting it.
Reading time assumes about 238 words per minute and speaking time about 140, which are the commonly cited averages for adult English. Your own pace will differ, so treat both as planning figures rather than exact durations.
