A LITTLE CONTEXT

About this tool

Measure text with language-aware word segmentation. Character counts use Unicode grapheme clusters so many emoji and accented characters count as one visible character.

Word boundaries depend on the browser's Unicode segmentation support. Reading time is an estimate at 200 words per minute. Every newline contributes a line.

GOOD TO KNOW

A couple of useful answers.

Are spaces included in the character count?+

The full count includes whitespace. A second count excludes whitespace-only grapheme clusters.

How is reading time calculated?+

We divide the word count by 200 and round up to a whole minute; empty text is zero minutes.
