Why Use a Character Counter?
Character counters are essential tools for writers, content creators, and developers who need to meet specific length requirements. Many platforms have character limits (Twitter's 280, meta descriptions' ~160, SMS's 160), making it crucial to track your text length accurately.
Common Character Limits
- Twitter/X: 280 characters
- Meta Description: 155-160 characters
- Title Tag: 50-60 characters
- SMS: 160 characters
- LinkedIn Posts: 3,000 characters
How Reading Time is Calculated
Reading time is estimated using an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute, which is typical for presentations and speeches. These are averages and actual times may vary based on content complexity and individual reading speeds.
