    About this word counter

    It counts as you type: words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, reading and speaking time. It understands Urdu punctuation (۔ and ؟), so Urdu essays and posts are counted correctly too.

    Questions

    How many SMS will my message take?

    A normal English SMS holds 160 characters. If the message has any Urdu or emoji, the phone sends it as Unicode, and one SMS holds only 70 characters. The calculator shows how many parts your message will take.

    How long is a 1,000-word essay to read or speak?

    About 5 minutes to read silently (200 words per minute) and about 8 minutes to speak (130 words per minute).

    Is my text saved or sent anywhere?

    No. Counting happens in your browser and nothing is stored.
