How to Use the Word Counter
Type or paste text into the input area, and the counter instantly shows word count, character count, sentence count, and an estimated reading time — updating live as the text changes, with no need to click a separate "count" button.
The Word Counter updates live as you type or paste — here's what each figure it shows means.
Entering or pasting text
Type directly or paste text from another source — the counter processes it instantly and updates all figures (words, characters, sentences, reading time) simultaneously, without a separate calculation step.
Reading the different metrics
Word count and character count are the two most commonly checked figures against a specific limit, while sentence count and estimated reading time give useful additional context about a piece of writing's structure and pacing.
