Word & Character Counter

Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Each separate group of characters is counted as one word. Numbers and hyphenated words count as single words.

Characters counts every single character including spaces, tabs, and newlines. Characters without spaces excludes all whitespace, giving you only letters, numbers, and punctuation.

Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 225 words per minute, which is typical for adult readers. Speaking time uses 135 words per minute, which is a comfortable speaking pace.
