Word Counter & Reading Time
Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and estimated reading time as you type.
All counting happens locally.
Count words and estimate reading time
The word counter updates while you type and reports characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and reading time.
Reading time uses an approximate adult reading speed and should be treated as guidance rather than an exact prediction.
