Overview

Quick context

What this word counter is for

This page gives fast writing statistics: word and character counts, sentence and paragraph counts, and simple time estimates using common reading and speaking speeds. It is meant as a lightweight companion while drafting posts, emails, scripts, and notes — not as an SEO audit platform or grammar suite.

How reading and speaking time are estimated

Silent reading time assumes roughly two hundred words per minute. Speaking time assumes a moderate spoken pace around one hundred thirty words per minute. Real speeds vary by audience, language, and delivery style, so treat these numbers as helpful guides rather than exact timings.

Privacy and large drafts

Counting is performed in your browser so feedback stays responsive. Avoid pasting highly confidential material on shared devices. For very long documents, performance depends on your hardware and browser, but the tool is designed to stay usable for typical article-length drafts.

Answers

Does counting happen in the browser?

How is reading time calculated?

We use a typical silent reading speed of about 200 words per minute. It is an estimate, not a promise.
