Word Counter
Word Counter is for count text. It keeps the page focused on that one job, so you can check the count report without opening a larger app.
Word Counter
Paste or type text and every count updates live: words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading and speaking time. Nothing to configure, nothing to submit.

What Word Counter cleans up
Word Counter measures text against the limits you're actually checking: X/Twitter's 280 characters, Instagram's 2,200, LinkedIn's 3,000, Google's ~60-character titles and ~155-160-character meta descriptions, the Common App's 650 words, IELTS Task 2's 250-word minimum.
Why small text fixes matter
Reading time and speaking time are different beasts: a 1,000-word script is a 4-5 minute read but a 7-minute speech. Writing a wedding toast or conference talk? Trust the speaking figure, not the reading one - the difference catches out first-time presenters constantly.
How the text is handled
Counting quirks worth knowing: hyphenated words count as one (matching Microsoft Word), numbers count as words, and sentence counts are approximate when text contains abbreviations - 'Dr. Smith' reads as a sentence break to any counter. Two tools can honestly disagree by a few words on the same text; if your university counts differently, their rule wins.
Where Word Counter helps
- Keeping a college essay under the 650-word Common App cap
- Trimming a meta description to ~155 characters
- Fitting a post into X's 280 characters
- Timing a speech using the speaking-time estimate
- Checking an IELTS essay clears the 250-word minimum

"Character counts for platforms, word counts for essays, speaking time for speeches. Whichever limit you're up against, the number updates before you finish wondering."
