Count and review your text in one place

The editor updates while you type. It measures words, user-perceived characters, characters without whitespace, sentences, paragraphs, unique words, and estimated reading and speaking time.

Keyword density shows the most repeated one-, two-, or three-word terms. Common words can be excluded so useful topics stand out without suggesting an artificial SEO target.

How words and characters are counted

The tool uses the browser’s language-aware segmenter when available. Apostrophes, hyphens, emoji, and languages without spaces can produce different results in other editors, so use the required platform’s count for strict submissions.

Which text count should you use?

Use words for essays and editorial briefs, characters for form or layout limits, characters without spaces when the destination requires it, and speaking time for scripts. When a platform enforces a limit, its own final count takes priority.

Private writing checks without an upload

Analysis happens locally and the draft is not stored. Native browser spellcheck remains available, while the writing panel flags repeated adjacent words, extra spaces, repeated punctuation, and unusually long sentences.

Limits and performance

Text up to 1,000,000 characters is supported. Very large drafts may take longer on low-memory devices. Formatting is intentionally treated as plain text when copied or downloaded.

Useful for

  • Essays and academic assignments
  • Articles, landing pages, and SEO drafts
  • Speeches, scripts, and captions
  • Applications and forms with text limits

Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded or saved?

No. Counting and analysis run in your browser. This tool does not upload or store the text.

What counts as a word?

The tool uses language-aware word boundaries when supported, with a Unicode fallback. A strict platform may apply different rules.

Does the character count include spaces?

The Characters result includes spaces and line breaks. Characters without spaces excludes all whitespace.

How is keyword density calculated?

Each term’s occurrences are divided by the total number of analyzed one-, two-, or three-word terms and shown as a percentage.

Does it correct spelling and grammar?

The editor enables your browser’s spelling suggestions. The writing check also spots repeated words, spacing, punctuation, and long sentences, but it is not a full grammar service.

Can I use it for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Thai?

Yes. Modern browsers can segment these languages without relying only on spaces; character counts remain available as a consistent reference.
