Analyze your text in real-time. Get instant counts for words, characters, and reading time estimation.
Word & Character Counter gives you live counts for words, characters, sentences, and estimated reading time while you type or paste text. It is useful for writers, students, SEO teams, copywriters, social media managers, and anyone who works with word limits or reading targets.
This tool is especially practical when you are checking blog drafts, school assignments, meta descriptions, captions, product copy, or any text that must stay inside a specific length. Because the counter updates in real time, you can edit content and immediately see how your totals change.
The tool can analyze your draft locally in the browser, which is useful for private notes, internal copy, or unpublished writing.
Counts update as you type, so you can shorten or expand text without switching between tools or refreshing the page.
Word count, character count, and reading time can help shape content for readability, engagement, and platform requirements.
Word counts can vary slightly between tools because of punctuation, hyphenated words, symbols, emojis, and extra spaces. This counter is best for quick editorial guidance and workflow decisions rather than strict legal or academic scoring rules.
If you are writing or editing content, you may also find Keyword Checker, Markdown Tool, Case Converter, and Lorem Ipsum Generator useful. For SEO-focused writing strategy, read our free keyword research guide.
