About the Word Counter

The Word Counter provides an immediate overview of a text without uploading it. It can help check assignment limits, article length, captions and general readability.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste text into the editor.
  2. Review the statistics as they update in realtime.
  3. Clear the editor or copy the original text when finished.

How text is counted

Words use the language-aware browser segmenter when available. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines, while sentence endings are estimated from common punctuation marks.

Reading time estimate

Estimated reading time uses an average pace of 200 words per minute. Actual time varies with language, complexity and the reader.

Example

A 400-word article has an estimated reading time of about two minutes, while character and paragraph totals update as the text is edited.
