Word & Character Counter
What is Word & Character Counter?
A live word and character counter for writers, students and content creators — counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences and paragraphs, and estimates both reading and speaking time, plus your most frequently used words.
How to use Word & Character Counter
Paste or type your text into the box. All counts update live as you type, with no need to press a button.
Understanding your result
Reading time is estimated at roughly 200 words per minute (average adult silent-reading speed) and speaking time at roughly 130 words per minute (average spoken presentation pace) — both vary by text difficulty and reader/speaker.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this count Bangla (Bengali) text correctly?
Word counting works by detecting groups of non-space characters, so it counts Bangla words correctly. Character counts include every Bangla character typed.
Is my text saved or uploaded anywhere?
No — counting happens entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server or stored.
Why don't common words like "the" or "and" show up in Most Frequent Words?
That list filters out common English stopwords (the, and, of, to, etc.) so it surfaces your text's actual recurring topics/keywords instead of filler words.
