📝 Word & Character Counter

Count words, characters, sentences and reading time as you type.

🛠️ Free tool by the NayaPakistan team · Updated September 2026

Paste or type your text and this tool counts the words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences and estimated reading time in real time. It works with English and Urdu text, including the Urdu full-stop (۔).

It is handy for assignments and essays with word limits, job and scholarship applications, social-media captions and SMS length, and meta descriptions or headlines that must fit a character budget. Nothing you paste leaves your device — the count runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How do I count words in a text?

Paste the text into the box and the counter shows the number of words instantly, along with characters, sentences and reading time.

Does it count characters with and without spaces?

Yes. It shows both totals, which is useful for platforms and fields that count spaces and those that don't.

How is reading time estimated?

It assumes an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute, so a 400-word text is roughly a 2-minute read.

Does it work for Urdu text?

Yes. Words and characters are counted for Urdu too, and sentence detection recognises the Urdu full-stop (۔) as well as . ! and ?.
