Word and character counter

No. Counting happens in your browser and the text is not sent anywhere or stored. Close the tab and it is gone.

With the browser's language-aware word segmentation, so languages written without spaces, like Japanese and Chinese, are counted properly. Hyphenated words such as “well-known” count as two words, as in Google Docs; Microsoft Word counts them as one.

Many tools count code units, so an emoji or an accented letter can count as two or more. This counts what you see: 👍🏽 and é are one character each.

At 230 words per minute, a typical adult reading speed for plain text, rounded up to the next minute.
