Word Counter
Paste or type your text below. Word, character, sentence, paragraph counts and reading time update in real time.
What Does the Word Counter Track
TitleCasePro's word counter tracks six statistics simultaneously: total word count, total character count, character count without spaces, sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time. All counts update in real time as you type or paste text.
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, a common reading speed for general adult audiences. For text under 200 words, the counter shows "less than 1 minute."
Who Uses a Word Counter
Word counters are useful for any writing task with length requirements. Students writing assignments with minimum and maximum word counts, bloggers targeting SEO word count recommendations, journalists writing to column-inch limits, and social media managers checking post length against platform limits all benefit from an instant word counter. The character count without spaces is particularly useful for typesetting and print design work where character count affects layout.
Pair With the Title Capitalizer
After writing and counting your content, use the title capitalizer to format your headline or heading in the correct style guide. For a list of titles to process at once, the batch capitalizer handles CSV and TXT imports. Explore all free writing tools in the TitleCasePro collection.
