Your text never leaves this page. All counting and keyword analysis runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is saved unless you choose to.

How words are counted

The counter segments your text into word-like units, correctly handling apostrophes (don’t counts as one word), hyphenated terms, numbers, accented characters and non-Latin scripts. Characters are counted as Unicode code points, so emoji are not miscounted.

Reading vs. speaking time

Reading time assumes an average of 200 words per minute; speaking time assumes about 130 words per minute for a presentation pace. Both are estimates you can adjust to your own speed.

Frequently asked questions
