How to use the tool

Type or paste text for automatic counts.
Input is limited to 100,000 characters.
Select a passage and choose “Count selection” to measure just that passage. Press it again to return to the whole text.

Method and principles

Words follow English word segmentation.

Characters are perceived symbols: a composed accent or family emoji counts as one character.

Practical example

Hello world contains 2 words, 11 characters including the space, and 10 excluding whitespace.

Input

Original text: Hello world

Result

2

Options and limits

Lines include blank lines and the final line after a newline. Blank lines separate paragraphs. Editors may count apostrophes, hyphens and emoji differently.
