Word Counter

🔒 Local only Text & Writing

Paste text and instantly count words, characters, lines, paragraphs, sentences, and reading time.

This word counter updates as you type and reports characters with spaces, characters without spaces, combined word count, lines, paragraphs, sentences, and estimated reading time. It is designed for mixed English and CJK text: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ideographs are counted character by character, while English words and numbers are counted as word tokens. Use it for social posts, drafts, assignments, applications, scripts, newsletters, and bilingual content checks.

Common mistakes

Before using Word Counter, check that the inputs and destination workflow match. These issues can make an output look useful while still being wrong for the real task.

  • Do not assume platform limits never change.
  • Do not assume every language uses the same word-count rules.
  • Do not treat reading time as an exact promise.

Limitations

Word Counter is a browser-based helper for quick preparation, cleanup, or checking. Keep the original material and review important output before using it in a formal workflow.

  • Mixed-language text is estimated with general rules.
  • It does not check grammar, facts, or tone.
  • Real platform truncation rules may differ.

How to use

  2. Review the live stats for words, characters, lines, paragraphs, sentences, and reading time.
