How do you count words and characters in a text online?
Docuboxer's word counter analyzes any text you paste and instantly reports words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and an estimated reading time — updating live as you edit. It's the quick way to hit an exact word limit for an essay or article, keep a meta description under the character cap, or size a post for a platform's limit, without pasting your text into a cloud service to get a number. The counting algorithm splits on whitespace and punctuation and handles hyphens, apostrophes and compound words correctly, so the totals line up with what professional word processors report. Everything runs in your browser: drafts, manuscripts and confidential documents never leave your device, and the counter keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Free, no signup, no length limits beyond your device's memory.

Frequently asked questions
How do I count the words in my text?
Paste the text into the tool and every statistic appears instantly: words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time, updating live as you edit. Free, no signup, and the text never leaves your browser.
How does the tool count words?
The counter splits the text on whitespace and punctuation, handling hyphens, apostrophes and compound words correctly — so the count is precise and comparable with professional word processors.
What does the estimated reading time mean?
It's based on an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute. It's a useful estimate of how long your audience will need to get through the full content.
Does it count characters with and without spaces?
Yes, both figures are shown separately. Character-with-spaces is what most platform limits (like meta descriptions or bios) actually measure, so that's usually the number to watch.
Is there a limit on how much text I can paste?
No artificial one — the tool comfortably handles long documents, with your device's memory as the only practical ceiling.
Is my text uploaded when I count it?
No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser's memory — no server, no logs, no retention — and keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
