Is the word count accurate for any language?

Yes. We use Unicode-aware regex (\S+) to detect words, so it works for English, Spanish, French, Chinese segmented input, and any whitespace-delimited language.

Why does the reading time say 1 minute for short text?

Reading time uses 220 words per minute as the baseline (close to average adult reading) and rounds up to a minimum of 1 minute when there is at least one word.

Are my characters counted before or after Unicode normalization?

We count code points (Array.from), so emoji and accented characters count as one each, exactly as a human reader would expect.

Text Counter

See your text's stats update as you type: characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences, lines, paragraphs, average words per sentence, estimated reading time, and the top 20 most-used words with relative frequency bars. Tighten the count first by running the input through Remove Extra Spaces, Remove Empty Lines, or Find and Replace Text.
