📊 Word & Character Counter
Count words, characters, sentences, and reading time
Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is standard for comfortable reading. The actual time may vary based on text complexity and individual reading speed.
What counts as a word?
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Hyphenated words count as one word. Numbers and symbols count as words if separated by spaces.
How are sentences counted?
Sentences are identified by terminal punctuation marks: periods (.), exclamation marks (!), and question marks (?). Text without these marks but with content counts as one sentence.
