About this tool
This counter counts a word as any run of letters or numbers between spaces, the same way word processors do, so the total matches what a teacher, editor or form will see. It also shows characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading and speaking time.
It's useful for essays and assignments with a word limit, blog posts, SEO copy, scholarship applications and speeches. Hindi and Hinglish work too: Devanagari words are counted correctly, and a conjunct like क्षि is one character, not three.
Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored, so it is safe for drafts, code and private documents.

Questions
How are words counted?
Any group of letters or numbers separated by spaces or line breaks is one word. Punctuation on its own (like a lone dash) isn't counted.
How is reading time calculated?
It divides the word count by a typical silent reading speed (about 180 words per minute for mixed Hindi and English) and speaking time by about 130 words per minute.
Does it work for Hindi text?
Yes. Devanagari words are counted like English words, and there's a separate count of Hindi letters. For a Hindi-focused page, see the Hindi word counter.
Is there a length limit?
No fixed limit. Very long documents (several megabytes) still work; counting just takes a moment longer.
