Paste any text and instantly count words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences and paragraphs — plus estimated reading time. Free, no signup, private.
Type or paste your text into the box above — a YouTube script, blog article, essay, caption or anything else. Counts update live as you type: words, characters, characters without spaces, sentences and paragraphs, plus an estimated reading time.
Writers use it to hit platform limits (YouTube descriptions allow 5,000 characters, X posts 280), students use it for essay word counts, and creators use it to estimate voiceover length — roughly 800–900 characters make one minute of spoken audio.
Word counts keep your content in the sweet spot. Faceless YouTube scripts run about 130–150 spoken words per minute, so a 10-minute video needs roughly 1,300–1,500 words. Blog posts that rank on Google are usually 1,000+ words. Checking the count before you publish takes two seconds and avoids surprises.

Yes. Words are counted by whitespace-separated tokens, so it works for Urdu, Hindi, Arabic and most other languages.
