Word and Character Counter

Paste or type your text and watch words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time update in real time. Everything runs in your browser, nothing is sent to any server.

À quoi ça sert

A word counter helps with essays that have limits, social media posts, academic papers, product descriptions and SEO meta descriptions. Knowing exactly how many words and characters your text has prevents rework and ensures you meet each requirement.

Comment l’utiliser

Besides words and characters (with and without spaces), the tool calculates sentences, paragraphs and lines, and estimates reading time (200 words per minute) and speaking time (130 per minute). Counting happens as you type, with no button to click.

Tout le traitement se fait localement, sur votre appareil. Votre texte n’est jamais envoyé à des serveurs, ce qui rend l’outil sûr même pour les contenus confidentiels. Lorsque vous fermez l’onglet, rien ne reste enregistré.
