What is this?
A character counter tells you how many characters are in a piece of text. Lumetra counts characters with and without spaces and also shows word, line and sentence counts.
How it works
As you type or paste, the counter recalculates instantly in your browser. Characters without spaces strip out every whitespace character, which is useful for platforms that count differently.
Examples

Without spaces
Input

Output
10 characters
Sentence
Input
Hello, world!
