When it helps

Applications, job forms, and school assignments often set a word or character limit. Counting before you submit tells you whether the text fits the limit and how long it takes to read.

Common questions

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The counting happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, stored, or shared.

Does it work with Arabic text?

Yes. It counts Arabic, English, and text that mixes both. Words are split on spaces, and the Arabic question mark (؟) ends a sentence just like ? does.

How is the reading time calculated?

We assume a reading speed of about 200 words per minute and round up to the next whole minute.

How do you count sentences and paragraphs?

A sentence ends with a full stop, an exclamation or question mark (including ؟), or an ellipsis. A new paragraph starts where a blank line separates two blocks of text.
