How to use this tool · examples & limitations
Count words, characters, sentences, and reading time.
Getting a reliable result
Paste a small text sample, choose the transformation, and compare the output with the original before applying it to a full document.
Worked example
Try the two-word sample Hello world, then add punctuation and a newline. Compare the word and character counts. Reading time is an estimate and depends on the reader and difficulty of the text.
Limitations to check
Whitespace, punctuation, Unicode and language conventions can affect counts and transformations.
