How it works
Type or paste any text into the box above. Every count updates as you type — characters, characters without spaces, words, lines, and paragraphs — along with an estimated reading time. Nothing you type is sent to a server; the counting runs in JavaScript directly in your browser tab.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this tool upload my text anywhere?
- No. All counting happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to a server.
- How is reading time calculated?
- We estimate reading time based on an average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute.
- Is there a limit to how much text I can paste?
- No hard limit — the tool runs in your browser, so it scales with your device rather than a server quota.
