Why It Matters
Know Your Counts As You Write
Whether you're writing a meta description that must fit Google's limits, an ad headline with a strict character count, or an essay with a word target, knowing your counts as you write saves constant re-editing.
This counter updates live as you type and also estimates reading and speaking time, which is useful for blog posts, scripts, and presentations. Everything stays in your browser — nothing you paste is uploaded anywhere.
