Google search snippets truncate around 155 to 160 characters, so that's your meta description budget. X (Twitter) allows 280 characters, an SMS segment is 160, an Instagram caption cuts off visually after ~125, and WhatsApp broadcast templates read best under 550 characters. For long-form: a typical blog post runs 800 to 1,500 words, and a 5-minute speech is roughly 650 words at a natural 130 words-per-minute pace, the same rate this tool uses for its speaking-time estimate.
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser: the text never leaves your device, so it's safe for confidential drafts.
At an average 200 words per minute for silent reading and 130 for speaking aloud, the common industry baselines.
Both, live. Useful for SMS limits, meta descriptions (~155 characters), tweets and ad copy.
