Features

Text Counter is a free online tool that instantly counts characters, words, lines, and paragraphs in any text you paste or type. It reports totals both with and without spaces, shows estimated reading and speaking time, and handles CJK languages with accurate per-character and word-segment counting. All counting runs directly inside your browser — your draft, essay, or manuscript never leaves your device and is never uploaded to a server.
