About this tool
The Word & Character Counter is a straightforward utility for anyone who needs to know exactly how much text they have written. Students use it to hit essay minimums or stay within assignment word limits. Copywriters and bloggers check it to match editorial briefs or SEO target lengths. Developers paste code comments to verify brevity. Social media managers count characters before posting — Twitter, LinkedIn headlines, and meta descriptions all have strict limits. The reading time estimate (based on the average adult pace of 200 words per minute) lets you gauge how long an article will take a reader, while the speaking time estimate (at a comfortable 130 words per minute) is handy for presentations and podcasts. Everything runs in your browser — no text is uploaded or stored anywhere.
