About this tool

Writers, students and marketers all hit word limits. This counter gives you live word, character, sentence and paragraph counts, plus an estimate of how long the text takes to read and to speak aloud.

The same counting logic used here is what the other Zibkit text tools share, so results are consistent across the site.

Frequently asked questions

How are words counted?
Words are sequences of letters, numbers and symbols separated by spaces or line breaks. Hyphenated words count as one word.
How is reading time estimated?
Using a common average of 200–250 words per minute. It is an estimate, not an exact measurement.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. The counter works entirely in your browser and your text never leaves your device.
