Character Counter & Letter Frequency Tool

Simply type or paste your text into the text area above, and the tool instantly calculates all statistics in real time. Characters (with spaces) includes every single keypress, while Characters (no spaces) excludes regular space characters. Words are identified by splitting on whitespace, and sentences are approximated using common punctuation marks (.!?). Letters, numbers, and symbols are detected using Unicode-aware methods, so it works for most languages.

A word is any sequence of non‑whitespace characters separated by spaces or line breaks. For example, "Hello, world!" counts as two words. Hyphenated words like "state-of-the-art" count as one word. The word count is designed to match common text editors and online platforms.

The sentence counter looks for typical sentence-ending punctuation: . ! ?. If your text contains abbreviations or decimal numbers, the count may be slightly off – it is an approximation. Empty sentences are ignored.

Character frequency analysis is useful for cryptography, linguistics, education, and even SEO. It helps you understand which letters or symbols dominate your text, detect unusual patterns, or compare different types of writing. Writers use it to avoid overusing certain letters or punctuation.

Absolutely. The counters work with any Unicode text – accented letters (é, ñ, ü), Cyrillic, Chinese characters, emojis, etc. Letter detection includes all Unicode letters (\p{L}), and symbol detection accounts for everything that is not a letter, digit, or space. Character frequency will appear for every distinct character you use.
