How to use it

  1. Paste or type your text into the box.
  2. Read the numbers below. They update with every keystroke.
  3. Copy the statistics if you need them elsewhere.

Examples

  • Hello, world! has 2 words, 13 characters and 1 sentence.
  • Characters are counted as visible symbols, so an emoji or an accented letter counts once.

Reading time assumes about 238 words per minute, speaking time about 140. Languages without spaces, such as Chinese or Japanese, are split with the browser’s word segmentation.
