USING THIS TOOL
How Word & Character Counter helps
Paste or type any passage. See statistics update immediately, including estimated reading time.
Method and assumptions
Words are separated using Unicode-aware letter/number matching; reading time assumes about 200 words per minute.
Example
A 1,000-word draft would take approximately five minutes to read at 200 words per minute.
Know the limits
Check your inputs and verify important financial, health, legal, educational or property decisions using the relevant professional or official source. Results depend on stated assumptions.
