What This Tool Does
The Word & Character Counter analyses your text in real time, providing counts for words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines. It also estimates your reading time and shows the top keywords by frequency — filtering out common stop words so you see meaningful terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute — the average adult silent reading speed. The estimate rounds up to the nearest minute for short texts.
Does character count include spaces?
Both counts are shown — characters with spaces and characters without spaces. Most character limits (like Twitter/X) count spaces, while some writing tools exclude them.
How are sentences counted?
Sentences are counted by detecting ending punctuation (., !, ?). Abbreviations and decimal numbers may slightly affect the count for very precise measurement.
