Word Counter
Count the words, characters, sentences and reading time of a text.
Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent or stored.
Good to know
The tool counts words in a Unicode-safe way: umlauts, ß and numbers count, hyphenated words count as one word.
Reading time is calculated at 200 words per minute, speaking time at 130. For talks and videos, speaking time is the better guide.
Would you rather dictate than type? Flowwy turns speech into text, right on your Mac.
Frequently asked questions
Are my texts stored?
No. The text stays in your browser.
Why does the number differ from Word?
Programs count special cases like hyphens, URLs or numbers differently. Differences of a few words are normal.
How is the reading time calculated?
Words divided by 200 words per minute, a common value for non-fiction text.
