About this tool
Counting Hindi is harder than counting English because one visible letter can be several Unicode code points: a consonant plus a matra, or a conjunct like क्या. Counters that count code points report numbers that are too high. This tool counts what a reader sees as a single unit, so कि is one character, क्या is one, and हिन्दी is two. You also get the count without spaces and a separate count of Devanagari letters.
A word is any run of text between spaces that contains a letter or a number, so it works for Hindi, English and mixed sentences. Sentences end at a danda (।), a double danda (॥) or a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark, and paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
Reading time uses about 180 words a minute and speaking time about 130, which are reasonable averages for Hindi. Treat them as planning estimates: a dense legal text takes longer, and a slow, expressive speech takes longer than the estimate.
When the exact count matters
Assignments, translation jobs and form fields often have limits such as 250 characters or 500 words. Paste your text here and compare the count with the limit. If the platform counts differently from this page, for example by counting each code point, it may show a bigger number; the safe approach is to leave a margin of a few percent.
For English text only, the word counter and character counter on this site show similar measures.
Scripts, speeches and voice-overs
If you are writing a two-minute video voice-over, aim for roughly 260 words at the speaking rate used here. Paste the script, check the speaking time and trim or add until it fits. Add a little extra time for pauses and music.
Common uses
- Checking a Hindi essay or assignment against a word limit
- Measuring character counts for captions, bios and SMS-style limits
- Timing a speech, reel script or voice-over
- Comparing the length of two translations

Questions
Does it count matras as separate characters?
No. A consonant with its matra, like कि or मे, counts as one character, which is how a reader sees it.
Why is its count different from Microsoft Word?
Word and other programs count code points or their own rules, which can differ for conjuncts. This counter follows visible characters.
Does it work for mixed Hindi and English?
Yes. Words in both scripts are counted, and the Devanagari letter count only includes Hindi letters.
How is reading time worked out?
Words divided by 180 for silent reading and by 130 for speaking aloud. It is an estimate, not a measurement.
