Tools in this collection

Count words, characters, lines, sentences, and paragraphs.

Measure text length with and without spaces.

Count paragraphs and non-empty lines.

Estimate how long English text takes to read.

Collapse repeated spaces, tabs, and oversized blank areas.

Capitalize sentences, fix sentence starts, and normalize lowercase, uppercase, or mixed-case text.

Word count and character count help you stay within assignment limits, social media limits, meta description limits, and publishing guidelines.

Reading time makes long drafts easier to evaluate before publishing. It is useful for blog posts, documentation, newsletters, and reports.

After rewriting or cleaning text, counters help confirm that the new version is shorter, clearer, or closer to the required length.
