Word Counter: What Each Measure Means
How to use this tool
Paste or type text to see word, character, non-space character, line, and estimated reading-time counts. The reading estimate uses a fixed rate of about 200 words per minute.
Limits and safe use
Counting conventions vary across writing and publishing tools, particularly for hyphens, apostrophes, and languages without spaces between words. Treat the reading time as an estimate.
