How to count words and characters

  1. Paste or type your text in the input area.
  2. Read the word, character and line counts as they update.
  3. Check the estimated reading time while editing your text.

Reading time uses 200 words per minute and rounds up. Character counts use grapheme clusters, and word segmentation supports languages including Thai. The limit is 100,000 characters.
