    Words, Characters & Reading Time

    Writers, students, and professionals regularly need to measure text length. This tool counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs in real time as you type or paste. It also estimates reading time based on the average adult reading speed of 200–250 words per minute.

    Useful for hitting essay word limits, staying within Twitter/LinkedIn character caps, estimating blog post reading time, or checking SEO meta description length. The tool works with any text — paste from a document or type directly. All processing happens locally; your text is never sent to a server.
