Count the number of words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in your text instantly.
Writing an assignment, blog post, or competitive exam essay? Many portals restrict submissions to exact word limits. Our online Word Counter counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, and paragraphs in real-time.
Paste or type your text inside the editor; the count updates dynamically as you type, keeping your document text secure.
| Metric | Description | Calculation Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Word Count | Total words typed | Separated by spaces or punctuation |
| Characters (With Spaces) | Every single keystroke | Includes letters, numbers, spaces, symbols |
| Characters (No Spaces) | Letters, numbers, and symbols only | Excludes space bar characters |
| Reading Time | Estimated reading duration | Based on average reading speed (200 WPM) |
The counter runs a string splitting script that counts characters separated by spaces, tabs, or punctuation marks (like periods, commas, and hyphens).
We provide two separate character counts: one that counts every keystroke (including spaces) and one that excludes spaces, helping you meet strict character limits.
