How to use

  1. Type or paste your text in the box.
  2. The counts update as you type.
  3. Use the character count for limits on sites like X (Twitter) or in SEO titles.

How it works

Words are counted as groups of characters separated by spaces. Sentences end with . ! ? or the Hindi full stop (।). Reading time assumes 200 words per minute.

Tips and common uses

Essays, assignments and applications

Many assignments and application forms ask for a word or character limit. Paste your draft here to check it, and watch the counts change as you cut or add sentences.

Titles and descriptions for the web

Search results usually show about 60 characters of a page title and about 160 characters of a description. Use the character count to keep yours inside those lengths.

Speeches and videos

Reading time is based on 200 words per minute. For a speech or voice-over, a 3-minute script is roughly 600 words, but speak slower for a formal talk.

Frequently asked questions

Does it count Hindi words correctly?

Yes. Hindi words are separated by spaces just like English words, and the Hindi full stop (।) is counted as the end of a sentence.

Is my text saved or uploaded?

No. Counting happens inside your browser. Your text is never sent to our server.

How many words fit on one page?

Roughly 250–300 words on a typed A4 page with normal font size and spacing, and about 500 words with single spacing.
