Counting more than just words

Every editor shows a word count, but the number you actually need is often more specific: characters with and without spaces for a meta-description limit, sentence and paragraph counts while editing, reading time for an article, speaking time for a script you will read aloud.

This counts all of those live as you type — characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, lines — plus estimated reading time (200 wpm), speaking time (130 wpm), the longest word, and the words you use most. For a readability grade alongside the counts, see the readability score; for a per-line length breakdown, character count by line; for a full ranked frequency table, the word frequency counter.

Common use cases

  • Meta descriptions and tweets — watch a character count against a hard limit.
  • Article planning — estimate reading time before publishing.
  • Speech prep — gauge how long a script takes to deliver aloud.
  • Editing — track sentence and paragraph counts as you tighten prose.
  • Keyword checks — see which words appear most often.

Frequently asked questions

How is reading time calculated?

From the word count at roughly 200 words per minute, a typical adult silent-reading pace.

What about speaking time?

Estimated at about 130 words per minute, a comfortable spoken delivery rate.

Does it count characters with and without spaces?

Yes, both — SEO and social limits count characters differently, so both totals are shown.

Where can I get a full word-frequency list?
