More than a basic word counter

A useful text counter should show more than one number. This tool combines the measurements commonly needed for essays, articles, reports, speeches, application forms, social posts, and website content.

  • Core counts: words, characters, characters without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, and lines.
  • Time estimates: adjustable reading and speaking duration based on your preferred pace.
  • Writing insights: vocabulary diversity, average lengths, repeated keywords, and readability estimates.
  • Practical controls: optional character limits, file upload, clipboard copying, and text download.

Useful for many writing tasks

Students can check assignment length, researchers can inspect abstracts and manuscripts, speakers can estimate presentation duration, and content creators can monitor platform limits. Writers can also spot excessive repetition by reviewing the keyword-frequency table.

Counts can vary slightly across applications because punctuation, symbols, contractions, hyphenated terms, and non-Latin scripts may be treated differently. For strict submission requirements, compare the final result with the platform where the text will be submitted.

Tip: Set a character limit to monitor progress visually while you type. The bar turns red when the text exceeds the selected limit.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. You can count and analyze as much text as you need without creating an account.

No. Text analysis runs locally in your browser. Your content is not submitted to the server or saved in a database.

The tool shows characters both with spaces and without whitespace so you can use the figure required by a form, platform, or publication.

Words are detected from visible letter and number sequences, including common apostrophes and hyphenated terms. Results may differ slightly from Microsoft Word or Google Docs because applications use different counting rules.

Reading time is estimated from the word count and your selected reading speed. The default is 225 words per minute.

Speaking time uses the selected speaking speed. The default is 130 words per minute, which is appropriate for a clear presentation pace.

Keyword density is the percentage of total words represented by a particular word or phrase. It can help identify repetition, but it should not be treated as a fixed SEO target.

Yes. The keyword panel lists frequently used words and can exclude common stop words so meaningful terms are easier to see.

The tool estimates Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level using English-language formulas. These are approximate indicators rather than judgments of writing quality.

Yes. You can load plain-text, Markdown, CSV, and similar text-based files. The file is read locally in your browser.

Yes. You can download the current text as a plain-text file or copy it to your clipboard.

Yes. The interface is responsive and works in modern desktop and mobile browsers.

Note: Counts, time estimates, keyword density, and readability scores are approximate. Different applications may apply different text-counting rules.
