The toolkitText & code
Count words, characters and lines as you type. Check a character limit and estimate reading or speaking time.
Set a limit to check your remaining characters.
Estimates at 200 words/min reading and 130 words/min speaking. Actual pace varies.
USEFUL DETAILS
Characters are counted as visible Unicode graphemes, so a joined emoji counts as one. Words use the browser’s English word segmentation, which may differ from a publishing platform. Reading time assumes 200 words per minute; speaking time assumes 130. Set your own character limit to check how much space remains.
Input
Hello world!Result
2 words
12 characters including the space and punctuationThe total character count includes spaces and punctuation. Visible Unicode graphemes are counted, so a joined emoji is one character here. A platform that counts code points or bytes may report a different total; check its own counter before publishing.
Reading time uses 200 words per minute and speaking time uses 130 words per minute. These are estimates, not a measured duration. Technical vocabulary, pauses and delivery style change the time a reader or speaker needs.
