What this tool cannot do
Counts pasted text only. Reading time is an estimate (200 words per minute) and varies by reader and content difficulty.
How to use it
- Paste your text.
- Read the counts as you type — no button is needed.
- Use the counts to trim or expand a draft to its target length.
Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
Words divided by 200 per minute, rounded to the nearest minute. It is an estimate, not a measurement of real readers.
Are hyphenated words one word or two?
This counter treats a hyphenated token as one word. Different tools count differently, so small differences are normal.
