How It Works
Formula
Word count = number of non-empty text tokens
Character count = total characters in input
Character count (no spaces) = total characters excluding whitespace
Reading time (minutes) = word count ÷ 200This tool analyzes the current text input and derives counts using straightforward token and character rules. Reading time is a planning estimate based on a typical 200 words-per-minute pace and should be treated as approximate.
Calculation note: values are processed in the order shown above, using the current input units.
