A short summary so you can pick the right one without opening every page.
Word Counter
Paste or type your text and see the word count update instantly, along with characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time and a breakdown of your vocabulary.
Character Counter
Count characters with and without spaces, check the UTF-8 byte size, and see at a glance whether your text fits the limit for a post, a title or a meta description.
Sentence Counter
Count the sentences in a text, see how many words each one carries, and find the sentences that have grown long enough to lose a reader.
Paragraph Counter
Count the paragraphs in a document and see the word and character weight of each one, so you can spot the wall of text before your reader does.
Reading Time Calculator
Find out how long your article takes to read. Pick a reading speed or enter your own, and see the result in minutes and seconds alongside the "x min read" label blogs use.
Speaking Time Calculator
Paste a script and find out how long it runs when spoken. Pick a delivery pace, add time for pauses, and see whether your talk fits its slot.
