Count words, characters with and without spaces, sentences and paragraphs as you type, with estimated reading and speaking time plus the most frequent words in your text.
Getting started
Paste or type your text into the editor.
Every statistic updates live as you write — there is no button to press.
Check the reading and speaking time estimates against your target length.
Review the frequent-words list to spot unintentional repetition.
Why it helps
Matches the counting method used by Word and Google Docs, so figures agree with whatever your marker or editor uses.
Separate counts with and without spaces cover both essay limits and platform character limits.
Reading time helps size blog posts, and speaking time helps size a presentation script.
The frequency breakdown surfaces crutch words you did not realise you were repeating.
In practice
Keeping an essay or assignment within a strict word limit.
Checking a social media post or meta description against a platform character limit.
Estimating how long a script will take to read aloud for a video or presentation.
Editing down a long draft while watching the count fall in real time.
Everything people ask most about the word & character counter, answered plainly.
