Character Counter

About Character Counter

Count characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs with platform-style drafting indicators.

The Character Counter is a live writing-statistics workspace for drafts, metadata, articles, emails, ad copy, scripts, and social content. It counts characters with spaces, characters without spaces, words, sentences, paragraphs, estimated reading time, estimated speaking time, average words per sentence, average words per paragraph, long sentences, and possible passive-voice patterns. The analysis updates as you type and can be copied as a compact stats report.

How to use Character Counter

Paste or write text in the input area. Review the live cards for character, word, sentence, paragraph, reading-time, and speaking-time counts. Use the structure snapshot to see average sentence and paragraph length, then review readability hints when long sentences or possible passive-voice phrases are detected. Copy the stats report when you need to document a draft review or hand numbers to another editor.

Character Counter example

A content editor can paste a landing-page section and see that it has 430 words, 18 sentences, 4 paragraphs, an estimated 3-minute reading time, and several long sentences. Instead of only trimming to a character limit, the editor can split dense sentences and tighten paragraphs for easier scanning. For a script or webinar intro, the speaking-time estimate gives a separate cue because text that reads quickly may still take longer when spoken with pauses. The copied report is also useful for documenting a before-and-after edit, because it preserves the counts without requiring screenshots.
