Character Counter
Character Counter: Count supplied text locally. Sentences are punctuation-based estimates; paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
What this tool does
Count whitespace-delimited words, Unicode characters, estimated sentences and blank-line-separated paragraphs. Reading time assumes 200 words per minute.
How to use it
Paste the draft. Run the count. Review the measurements against your assignment or editorial brief.
Why it matters
Counts help scope editing and compare drafts, but word count alone does not measure usefulness.
Example
“Clear answers help readers.” contains four whitespace-delimited words. Abbreviations and punctuation can affect the approximate sentence count.
Understanding the result
Characters include whitespace; a second count excludes it. Paragraphs require a blank line. Reading time is rounded up.
Limitations
Word boundaries are whitespace-based and do not segment every writing system correctly. Sentences and reading time are estimates.
Frequently asked questions
