About this tool

What does the character counter track?
Characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences, paragraphs, unique words, and estimated reading time at 200 wpm.
Is there a live character limit warning?
Yes. Set a limit (e.g., 280 for Twitter/X, 160 for SMS) and the counter turns red as you approach it.
Can I analyze text I paste in rather than type?
Yes. Paste any text and all counts update instantly.
Does the reading time estimate account for complexity?
The estimate uses a standard 200-wpm baseline. Complex technical text is read more slowly; simple prose more quickly. Use the estimate as a ballpark, not a guarantee.
