A word counter that respects your writing
Essays with strict limits, meta descriptions capped at 160 characters, college applications, tweet threads, conference talk scripts — word and character limits are everywhere. Paste your text above and every count updates instantly. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, so it's safe for unpublished manuscripts and confidential documents alike.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. Counting happens live in your browser. Your text is never transmitted, stored or logged.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time uses 225 words per minute (average silent reading); speaking time uses 150 words per minute (typical presentation pace).
Do character counts include spaces?
Both are shown — with spaces (what most form limits use) and without.
