The quick stats explanation uses whitespace for words, punctuation for sentence estimates, blank lines for paragraphs, and about 200 words per minute for reading time.
How to use
- Paste or type text into the input area.
- Use the example preset if you want to test the output format first.
- Review the word, character, sentence, paragraph, and reading-time summary, then copy it if needed.
How this tool works
- Words are counted from non-empty groups separated by whitespace, so line breaks and spaces both separate words.
- Characters include every typed character, while characters without spaces remove whitespace before counting.
- Sentences are estimated from sentence-ending punctuation, paragraphs from blank-line breaks, and reading time from about 200 words per minute.
Use cases
- Check a blog post or article draft against a target word count before publishing.
- Estimate how long a reader may need for newsletter, lesson, or documentation copy.
- Compare characters with and without spaces when preparing short descriptions or form-limited text.
Examples
- Paste a school assignment draft to check words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time before submitting.
- Use the example text preset to see how paragraph breaks and sentence punctuation affect the summary.
- Copy the summary when you need to share a quick text length report with an editor or teammate.
FAQ
What counts as a word?
Any non-empty group of characters separated by whitespace is counted as one word.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time is estimated at about 200 words per minute and rounded up to at least one minute when text is present.
