About Word & Character Counter
Counting words in non-Latin scripts trips up most English tools, which recognise only Latin letters and return zero for Persian or Arabic text. This counter is Unicode-aware and reports words, characters, lines and paragraphs separately.

Frequently asked questions
What character counts should I target for title and meta description?
Around 50 to 60 characters for the title and 120 to 158 for the description. Beyond that, Google truncates in the results page.
How is reading time calculated?
From an average reading speed of roughly 200 to 250 words per minute, the common benchmark for web content.
Is my text stored?
No. Counting happens entirely in the browser and the text never leaves your device.
