Word Counter — Words, characters and reading time — OnePassApps
Count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs, estimate reading and speaking time, check a limit and find repeated words. Private, in your browser.
Word Counter measures text you type, paste or open from a file. It reports words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and lines, estimates reading and speaking time, checks a limit you set and lists repeated words. The text stays in this tab; nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
What you can do
- Count words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and lines, with emoji and accented characters counted as one.
- Estimate reading and speaking time at adjustable words-per-minute speeds, and set your own word or character limit.
- List the ten most repeated words with an optional common-word filter, then copy the stats or download a TXT report of the numbers.
Limitations
- Text can run to 2,000,000 characters and files up to 6 MB. No platform limits are bundled, so enter the limit you need yourself.
- Sentence counts are rule-based and times are estimates. Chinese, Japanese and Thai word breaks depend on the browser. There are no grammar, readability or plagiarism checks. Reloading clears the text.
Is Word Counter free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it is free. Word Counter runs in your browser with no account or payment details, and it never uses OnePassApps credits.
