How it works

Word Counter — Count words, characters, sentences and reading time. All processing happens in your browser — no upload, no signup, no email required. Free forever.

Frequently asked questions

How is reading time calculated?

We assume 238 words per minute (the average adult silent-reading speed) and 130 wpm for speaking. Both update live as you type.

Does it work for non-English languages?

Yes — we count whitespace-separated tokens. Languages without spaces (Chinese, Japanese, Thai) report character count more meaningfully than word count.

Is the text saved anywhere?

No. The text stays in your browser's memory and is never sent to a server. Refreshing the page clears it.
