Sentence Counter with Word, Paragraph & Reading Time Stats

Live sentence, word, paragraph and character counts plus reading and speaking time.

Quick answer: Paste any text to instantly count sentences, words, paragraphs, and characters, with reading and speaking time estimates — no data ever leaves your tab.

Everything is counted locally in your browser — your text is never sent anywhere.

How to use

  1. Paste or type text — stats update as you type.
  2. Check the longest-sentence preview to hunt run-ons.
  3. Use the reading and speaking times before you record or present.

About this tool

Most counters split sentences on every period they see, so Mr. Smith or e.g. breaks the math. This one guards common abbreviations — Mr., Mrs., Dr., Prof., vs., etc., e.g., i.e. — and refuses to end a sentence when the next word starts lowercase, which is how real editors read. Paste or type and the stats update live: sentence count, word count, unique words, paragraphs, characters, average words per sentence, a preview of your longest sentence (handy for spotting the run-on you lost track of), and reading plus speaking time estimates at the standard 200 and 130 words per minute. Nothing is analyzed anywhere but your own browser, so drafts of any sensitivity are safe. Your file never leaves this page — processing runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded and the data is dropped from memory when you close the tab.

FAQ

How does it avoid counting 'Mr.' as a sentence end?
It holds back a known abbreviation list (Mr., Mrs., Dr., e.g., i.e., vs., etc. and friends) and also ignores a period followed by a lowercase word, matching how sentences actually work.
What reading speed do you assume?
About 200 words per minute for silent reading and 130 for speaking aloud — the usual estimates for adult English readers and presenters.
Why show unique words?
Writers use the word-to-unique-word ratio to spot repetition; a short text with few unique words usually needs a vocabulary pass.
Does my text get uploaded?
Never — Your file never leaves this page — processing runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded and the data is dropped from memory when you close the tab.
What counts as a paragraph?
Any block of text separated by one or more blank lines, which is how most editors and word processors treat them.
