Word count & reading time

How to count words and estimate reading time online

Paste any amount of text into the input area. Statistics are calculated instantly: total character count (with and without spaces), word count, estimated token count (useful for checking LLM context window usage), and reading time at a standard pace of 200 words per minute.

Common uses: checking whether a blog post meets a minimum word count, estimating how long a speech or presentation will take, verifying text stays within a character or word limit before submission, or calculating the approximate token cost of a prompt before sending it to a language model API.
