Word & Character Counter
Count words and characters in any text as you type, with an estimated reading time — handy for essays, social posts, meta descriptions and word-limit requirements. A typical 500-word blog introduction takes about 2 minutes to read at the average adult reading speed of 200-250 words per minute — a quick benchmark that's handy when you're writing to a word-count or time limit.
