Type or paste your text into the box above. The word count, character count, character count without spaces, sentence count and estimated reading time update as you type.

Reading time is estimated by dividing the word count by an average reading speed. It varies from person to person and with the difficulty of the text, so treat it as an approximation.
Some platforms, translation jobs and writing gigs set limits or pricing without counting spaces. The count without spaces gives you the right measure in those cases.
The sentence count is based on sentence-ending marks such as periods, question marks and exclamation marks. Abbreviations or ellipses can slightly affect the result.
