How to use this tool

Paste your text to count words, visible characters and paragraphs. Word boundaries use your browser’s Unicode segmentation when available; older browsers use whitespace. Reading time assumes 210 words a minute. Character counts include spaces and combine emoji sequences when supported. Language and reading difficulty can change the estimate.
