ℹ️ How these are counted
  • Words — whitespace-separated tokens; multiple spaces or line breaks between words don't inflate the count.
  • Sentences — rough count based on ., !, and ? as terminators; abbreviations like "e.g." will over-count slightly, as with most simple counters.
  • Paragraphs — blocks of text separated by one or more blank lines.
  • Reading time — words ÷ 200 (an average adult silent-reading speed), rounded up to the nearest minute.
  • Runs entirely client-side on this page — nothing you type here is ever sent anywhere. The JSON API below is a separate, opt-in endpoint for scripts.
