Character, word count, and read time in rich text

Rich text fields now show a live character count, word count, and estimated read time at the bottom of the editor.

Rich text editor toolbar with content stats at the bottom

What’s new?

Character and word count at the bottom of the rich text editor. The counts update as you type.
Read time estimated from the word count. It appears alongside the counts.
Counts all text in the field, including formatted content
