Checking a short essay introduction
A student pastes this opening: "Climate change is reshaping coastal towns. Councils are planting reed beds and raising sea walls, and residents are asked to help map flood risk."
Words 24, Characters 145, No spaces 122, Sentences 2, Paragraphs 1, Reading time under 1 min, Speaking time under 1 min
The text is short, so both times round down to under a minute; a 1,300 word speech at 130 words a minute would take about ten minutes.
Measuring a meta description draft
A marketer pastes: "Our guide explains how to choose the right running shoes for flat feet, with fit tips and three common mistakes to avoid."
Words 22, Characters 121, No spaces 100, Sentences 1, Paragraphs 1, Reading time under 1 min, Speaking time under 1 min
Characters include spaces and punctuation, so the figure matches what most search results count; the draft is shorter than the 150 to 160 character guide in the tips.
Sobre Word Counter
A word counter tells you how many words, characters, sentences and paragraphs your text contains. It is useful for students checking an essay limit, writers matching a brief, and marketers keeping headlines and meta descriptions within length guidelines. Type or paste your writing and the figures update as you go.
Reading and speaking times are estimates. This tool assumes an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute and a speaking pace of about 130 words per minute, so a 1,300-word speech takes roughly ten minutes to deliver. Real times vary with the reader, the speaker and the subject matter.

- Read the word and character counts at the top of the results.
- Check the sentence and paragraph totals if your brief sets a structure.

Perguntas frequentes
How do I count words in a document?
Paste the text into the word counter or type it directly into the box. The word count, character count, sentence count and paragraph count update as you type. Clear the box at any time to start a fresh piece of writing.
Does the word counter update as I type?
Yes. The figures for words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time and speaking time update as you type or paste, so you can see the effect of each edit straight away. This helps when you are trimming a draft to fit a word limit or building up to a minimum length.
Do character counts include spaces?
Character counts usually include spaces and punctuation, while some platforms count only letters and numbers. Check the brief to see which figure it asks for before you submit your work. Use the figure that matches the requirement, and treat the result as a guide rather than a guarantee.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated by dividing the total word count by an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute. A 1,000-word article therefore takes roughly five minutes to read. Speaking time uses a slower pace of about 130 words per minute, so the same article would take nearly eight minutes to read aloud.
What is the difference between a word count and a character count?
A word count gives the number of words in your text, which is what most essay limits and article briefs use. A character count gives the total number of individual letters, numbers, spaces and punctuation marks. Character limits are common for headlines, social posts and search listings, where space is tightly constrained.
