About this tool

What text statistics does

Measure pasted text across common editorial and technical metrics, including Unicode-aware character counts and the actual UTF-8 byte length.

How it works

Unicode-aware expressions identify words and sentences, TextEncoder calculates UTF-8 bytes, and line and paragraph boundaries are counted locally.

Common uses

When to use it

  • Check character and byte limits for APIs and databases
  • Estimate reading time for technical documentation
  • Measure lines and words in copied configuration or prose

Scope

Limits to know

  • Sentence detection is heuristic and may not understand every abbreviation
  • Reading time uses a simple estimate of 200 words per minute

Quick answers

Text statistics FAQ

Why can UTF-8 bytes exceed the character count?

Many Unicode characters require more than one byte when encoded as UTF-8.

Are spaces included in the character count?

The result includes both total characters and a separate count with whitespace removed.

How is reading time estimated?

The word count is divided by 200 words per minute and displayed as a fractional estimate.
