Speaking time
Everything is counted in your browser as you type — your text is never uploaded or stored. Reading time assumes ~200 words per minute; speaking time ~130.
How This Tool Works
Type or paste your text into the box. The counts for words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading and speaking time update instantly as you edit — no button to press.
Formula & Method
Words are counted as groups of characters separated by spaces; characters are counted directly. Reading time assumes an average of 200 words per minute and speaking time about 130 words per minute.
Example Calculation
A 500-word blog intro shows 500 words, roughly 2,800 characters, and an estimated reading time of about 2 minutes 30 seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the word count match Microsoft Word or Google Docs?+
It matches closely — words are counted as space-separated tokens, the same basic method those editors use. Very unusual spacing or punctuation can cause tiny differences.
Is there a character limit?+
No. Paste as much text as you like — everything is processed locally in your browser, so there is no upload limit or account needed.
Is my text private?+
Completely. Your text is never sent to or stored on any server — all counting happens in your own browser and disappears when you close the tab.
How is reading time calculated?+
Reading time uses an average adult reading speed of about 200 words per minute; speaking time uses about 130 words per minute, a typical presentation pace.
