Word Count
Characters, words, lines, reading time.
A free word counter that tallies words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and unique words in real time, estimates reading/speaking time, shows top words, and checks limits for Twitter, SMS and Weibo. It runs fully in your browser.
How to use
- Type or paste into the text box and watch the stats update live.
- Read words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and read/speak time across the top.
- Check the platform limits on the right (Twitter/SMS/Weibo).
- Review the top words and toggle “Skip stop-words”.
FAQ
- Does it count Chinese text?
- Yes. Chinese characters each count as a word and English words count individually, so mixed Chinese/English text is tallied correctly.
- How is reading time estimated?
- It assumes roughly 220 words per minute for reading and 130 for speaking — a rough guide that varies by person.
- Is my text uploaded?
- No. Counting happens entirely in the browser; your text never leaves your device.
