Features

Live word, character, line, paragraph and sentence counts that update on every keystroke, with no length limit.
Separate "with spaces" and "without spaces" character totals — ideal for staying under tweet, X post or SEO meta-description limits.
Reading-time (~200 words per minute) and speaking-time (~130 words per minute) estimates for essays, blog posts, scripts and presentations.

How it works

Paste or type your text into the box above — there is nothing to upload and no file to drop.
Every metric updates live as you type: words, characters (with and without spaces), lines, paragraphs and sentences.
Read the reading-time and speaking-time estimates, then keep writing or copy your text out — it never leaves your browser.

Your files never leave this page

Every conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. There is no upload, no server-side processing, no analytics, and no cookies. Open DevTools → Network during the operation and you will see zero outbound traffic.
