How it works
Count words, characters, lines, paragraphs, and estimated reading time locally.
Use it to measure the shape and approximate reading length of pasted prose.
Example
Count words, lines, paragraphs, and estimated minutes for a draft document.
Notes
- Counts update immediately as you type or paste.
- Characters without spaces remove all whitespace characters, not just ASCII spaces.
- Reading time uses a simple 200-word-per-minute estimate.
Constraints
- Reading time is an estimate and language-specific word boundaries can vary.
- Limit: 2 MiB input. Nothing is uploaded or silently truncated.
Common errors
- Language-specific word boundaries
- Reading-time assumptions
- Oversized input
When to use it
