Count characters, words, and lines as you type
This page shows a total that keeps every space, a second total that drops them, plus words and lines. A hyphenated term is one word, and accents stay in the text. It is not a grammar checker and not an AI detector. The totals run locally.
Four totals, and accents stay put
You get both character counts, a word count, and a line count. A hyphenated term counts as one word. Accented letters are kept, not stripped or “fixed”.
No grammar pass and no AI verdict
The page does not mark style, and it does not guess whether a model wrote the draft. “Paste”, “Copy text”, and “Clear” are the actions. “More” shows hidden figures on a narrow screen.

A hyphenated term is one word. Letters with accents remain in the draft and in the counts.

Counts only, with the letters left alone

With spaces and without

Words and lines too
The word total and the line total update with the same draft.

Hyphen holds one word
A compound joined by a hyphen is a single word in this count.

Accents stay

Not a grammar checker

-
Not an AI detector
