What it does
The Word & Character Counter gives you live statistics on any text as you type: word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and an estimated reading time. It’s a writer’s and developer’s quick reference - perfect for meta descriptions, tweet drafting, commit messages, and reading-time estimates for blog posts. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How to use it
- Type or paste your text into the box.
- Watch the stat cards update live: Words, Characters, No-spaces, Sentences, Paragraphs, Reading time.
- Use Copy to copy the text.
Examples
- Tweet check: paste a draft → confirm Characters is ≤ 280.
- Reading time: a 1,000-word article → Reading time ≈ 5 min (at 200 wpm).
Good to know
- Reading time assumes ~200 words per minute (a common average for technical prose).
- Words are non-whitespace tokens; Sentences are groups ending in
.,!, or?; Paragraphs are blocks separated by a blank line. - Private: all counting is local - safe for unreleased content.
