What this text counter does

Paste text to see characters with spaces, characters without spaces, word count, sentence count, paragraph count, line count, and a simple reading time calculator estimate.

Common use cases

Use it for social media captions, page descriptions, product listings, form limits, essay drafts, email subject lines, and any place where a character counter or word counter helps avoid rework.

Privacy and local processing

Your draft stays on your device. SimpleTaskKit does not upload the text, create a document, or store a server-side history when you count words and characters.

Inputs and outputs

The input is plain text. The output is a live set of text metrics plus a copyable summary that can be pasted into briefs, tickets, editorial checklists, or content QA notes.

Limits and edge cases

Word and sentence counts use practical browser-side rules, so highly specialized grammar, abbreviations, emojis, and unusual punctuation can differ from a publisher or word processor.
