Character Counter

Where limits bite, definitions matter: character counts including spaces are what meta-description and post caps measure, while word totals can differ from a desktop editor's over how each treats hyphenates and numerals. Reading time assumes roughly 200 words per minute.

Count characters with and without spaces, plus words, sentences and reading time, as you type — ideal for tweets, bios, SMS and meta descriptions with strict limits. Everything is counted in your browser.

This word and character counter tallies your text the instant you type or paste it: total words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and lines. It also estimates reading and speaking time, so writers, students and marketers can hit length targets for essays, meta descriptions, tweets, ad copy or scripts with confidence.

Beyond raw counts it surfaces keyword density — the words you use most, with their share of the total — which helps when tightening copy or checking a target phrase is neither overused nor absent. Density is a diagnostic rather than a target; writing to hit a percentage reads exactly as badly as it sounds.
