Frequently Asked Questions

What is Word & Character Counter?
Word & Character Counter is a free online tool that instantly counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and lines in your text. It also estimates reading time and speaking time, and shows the most frequent words.
How accurate is the reading time estimate?
The reading time is based on an average adult reading speed of 238 words per minute. It is a reasonable estimate for most text types. Speaking time uses an average of 900 characters per minute.
Is Word & Character Counter free?

Does it send my text to a server?
No. All counting and analysis happens entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
What does 'Unique Words' mean?
