About this Word Counter
This word counter counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences and paragraphs as you type, and estimates reading and speaking time - built for students checking essay limits, writers hitting a word count, and speakers timing a talk. Your text never leaves your device.
How it works
Words are whitespace-separated tokens. Reading time assumes about 200 words per minute; speaking time about 130 wpm.
