Hello friends! Today I have prepared an article for you on how to count the number of characters in a text. I'll show you how easy it is to do this in a Word document. I’ll also tell you about 3 online services that I use periodically.

Watch the instructions in the video:

Let's start with counting characters in Word.

We select with the mouse the text in which we want to count the characters. At the bottom of the document on the left, click on the “Word Count” tab.

We see the necessary information and even more. :)

Number of words, characters with and without spaces, number of paragraphs and lines.

How to count characters in text online?

When I was a copywriter, I used several services for these purposes, which I’ll tell you about today.

1. SignCounter– a convenient online script for counting characters, words, commas. It also has some interesting additional features:

Convert text to lowercase. That is, if you insert text printed in capital letters (CapsLock), when you select this option and click the “Calculate” button, the script will convert your text to normal.
Removing extra spaces. I sometimes make mistakes with them when I type quickly; in Word it’s not particularly noticeable, but here you can easily clean up the excess.
Counting without HTML and PHP tags, removing these tags.
And a mini SEO analysis - you can select the function “display top 10 keywords,” that is, words that are most often repeated in your text.

The output is the following text analysis (displayed on the side, on the right).

2. Text.ru – major service, with different tools for checking text. The main tool is uniqueness checking. Counting of characters with and without spaces, words occurs immediately when we add text to a special field, without clicking the “Check for uniqueness” button.

Along with the uniqueness check, we get a check for spelling errors, extra spaces, as well as SEO analysis.

In SEO analysis I want to highlight 2 useful parameters – water and spam.

The Water parameter – displays the percentage of stop words, various phrases, and phrases that do not carry a semantic load in the text. Up to 15% is the permissible water content in the text.

The Spam parameter – reflects the indicator of text overload with keywords. If the percentage is high from 60, then the text is considered to be over-spammed with keywords and unnatural in the eyes of search engines.

This data is available for free, without registering for the service. Registration speeds up the verification process and removes the limitation on the number of texts checked.

3. Simvoli.net is another online tool for counting characters in text, with some additional features.

Paste the text into the provided field and click “Calculate + Analysis”. We receive information about the number of characters with and without spaces, the number of words, as well as a list of keywords most often used in the text.

By clicking on the “More” tab, we will open additional options: convert to upper/lower case, capital letters, translit.

The service will count the number of words and characters in the text, and at the same time conduct a SEO analysis of your article. For example, it will show the % of water in the text - the ratio of non-meaningful stop words, phrases, speech patterns to their total number. The higher this indicator, the more useless the search robot considers the article and lowers it in the search results.

Separately, it will display these stop words and their number so that you can reduce them in the text.

Also, the Serphant character counting service shows the semantic core of the article - the number and percentage of keywords and phrases that are most often mentioned in the text and make it clear what it is about. Based on these indicators, you can adjust the semantic core of the text to specific key queries for which you want to promote your article in the search results.

For this analysis you do not need to register on the service. Everything is fast and simple.

So, we looked at several tools for counting characters in text, which will be useful in the work of a blogger and web writer. Use them when needed.

I wish you success!

Best regards, Victoria Karpova

There are many different programs on the World Wide Web for counting the number of characters in a given text. These can be either small programs specially developed for this purpose or various text editors.

The most popular way to determine the number of characters in a text for many users has been and remains the time-tested text editor Microsoft Word.

Determining the number of characters for whole text

You need to place the cursor at the beginning of the text, more precisely, before the first character of the text. Then you should find and use the “Statistics” tool in the Word editor, which is ideally suited for such calculations.

Looking for Statistics inWord 2007

1) Place the text in the Word 2007 editor.

2) Place the cursor at the beginning of the text.

3) Find the bottom line in the Word editor, which is called the status bar (number 2 in Fig. 1):

4) Click on the “Number of words” option (number 1 in Fig. 1), after which the “Statistics” window appears. Here we see that the number of characters (without spaces) is 2.304, and with spaces – 2.651.

By the way, if someone tells you that you need, for example, 2000 characters, without specifying whether with or without spaces, then this means “with spaces.”

All this is good. But what if there is a status bar in Word 2007, but there is no “Number of words” option in it?

In this case, click on an empty space in the status bar with RMB (right mouse button), for example, in the place where the number 2 is in Fig. 1. The “Status Bar Settings” window will appear (Fig. 2):

Rice. 2. Check for a checkmark next to the “Number of words” option in the Word status bar.

Here you should check the box next to the “Number of words” option (number 2 in Fig. 2). After which it will automatically appear in the status bar of Word.

Statistics in Word 2010

Everything here coincides exactly with what is written above about Word 2007.

Looking for Statistics in Word 2003

With the left mouse button, you need to single-click on the “Service” function located in the top panel of Word (Fig. 3).

In the window that opens, select the “statistics” sub-item, after a single click on which a small “Statistics” window appears in the center of the Word text editor with all the necessary statistical information about the text. The number of pages, words, characters (without spaces and with spaces), paragraphs and lines is determined:

Counting characters in a piece of text

Often there is a need to calculate the number of characters for a specific part of the text. This is not difficult to do in Word:

1) you just need to select the required part of the text to count the number of characters and

2) find the “Statistics” window (that is, perform the same manipulations as described above for the whole text).

What is a sign reader?

There are so-called “character counters” on the Internet – services designed to count the number of characters in online text. Online services are convenient because you do not need to install any programs on your computer.

Online services operate on the principle of “here and now”, “take and use”, as they say, “without leaving the cash register”, more precisely, without leaving the Internet. While on the Internet, it is enough to open such an online service and use its services.

To find such services, just enter the query “sign readers” in a search engine (Yandex, Google, etc.) and click on one of the first links that will be offered by the search engine.

In Fig. 4 shows an example of a Sign Counter.

Rice. 4 Count the number of characters in the text online using the Sign Counter.

2) Copy this text to the clipboard, for example, using Ctrl+C.

3) Open the Sign Reader.

4) Paste the text from the clipboard, for example, using the hot keys Ctrl+V.

6) A window will appear with the results of counting the number of characters (number 2 in Fig. 4).

Accurate counting of characters is necessary, for example, for freelancers whose copywriters are paid precisely for “volume”, that is, for a certain number of characters with or without spaces in the written text. It may also be useful for those users who need to place a certain number of characters in any service, no more than a certain number, for example, no more than 140 or 255 characters.
