Count words and characters in your text
This word counter measures text locally in your browser. Word counting uses whitespace-separated tokens, while sentence and paragraph counts are practical estimates and may vary by language and writing style.
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute and is a guide, not a guarantee. Your text is not sent to SindhTools.
