Character / Word / Byte Counter
Live text statistics: character count (with / without spaces), word count, lines, paragraphs, UTF-8 bytes, plus breakdown for CJK characters, Latin letters, digits, punctuation, emoji, sentences. Also estimates reading and speaking time. Runs entirely in the browser.
Usage
Live text statistics — total characters, characters excluding whitespace, words (CJK char-counted + Latin word-counted), lines / paragraphs, UTF-8 bytes. Breakdown by CJK characters / Latin letters / digits / punctuation / emoji / sentences.
Reading time estimate: silent reading 300 / 200 chars-or-words per minute, speaking 180 / 150.
Use cases
FAQ
How are Chinese characters counted?
Each CJK character counts as one. The tool distinguishes CJK char count and Latin word count separately.
What's the 'no whitespace' count?
Total characters after removing every whitespace (space, tab, newline). Some quota systems use this number.
Why does it show UTF-8 byte size?
To estimate storage / network size. CJK is 3 bytes/char in UTF-8; ASCII is 1 byte.
How accurate is the reading-time estimate?
It's an estimate at 300 chars/min silent, 180 spoken (CN) or 250 / 150 wpm (EN). Real speed depends on the speaker and content.
