How it works

How to use the Word Counter

  1. 01

    Type or paste your text. Counts update as you write.

  2. 02

    Check words, characters, sentences, reading time and the length-limit bars.

  3. 03

    See which words you lean on most, filler words aside.

Good to know

  • Reading time assumes 238 words a minute; speaking time assumes 150.
  • Counting text for an AI model? Words and tokens don't line up, so use the LLM Token Counter.
