Word Counter
Real-time character, word, sentence, paragraph and reading-time stats as you type.
Word Counter is a writer's dashboard. Drop or type any text into the editor and the panel beside it updates live with everything you might need to know: total characters, characters without spaces, words, sentences, paragraphs, estimated reading time, estimated speaking time, longest word, and most-frequent word. There is no Generate button — the moment you stop typing, the numbers settle. It is the fastest way to hit a 280-character tweet, a 500-word school essay, a 1500-word blog post, a 60-second TikTok script, or a precise meta description that needs to land between 150 and 160 characters. Reading time is calculated at a natural 200 words per minute, the average for adult readers in English, and speaking time at 130 words per minute, the rate professional voice actors target for clarity. Both numbers help you size content for podcasts, presentations, video voiceovers, and YouTube intros. Students use it to stay inside word-count requirements without guessing, copywriters use it to keep ad headlines punchy, and authors use it to track daily writing goals. Because the entire tool runs in your browser, you can keep it open in a tab while working on confidential drafts, internal memos, or unannounced product copy without any of it ever being sent over the internet. Paste, write, edit, repeat — and never wonder how long something is again.
