What this tool counts
This live counter updates as you type. It tracks words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and estimates the time it would take to read or speak the text aloud.
How counts are derived
- Words — tokens separated by whitespace
- Sentences — segments ending with . ! or ?
- Paragraphs — blocks separated by blank lines
- Reading time — words ÷ 200 (average adult reading speed)
- Speaking time — words ÷ 130 (average speaking pace)
