Text limits are set in different units depending on who set them. University essays and job applications usually count words, social posts and meta descriptions count characters, and presentations are judged in minutes. Choose the counter that matches the limit you were given rather than converting between them yourself.

How counting works here
Words are counted as runs of text separated by spaces or line breaks, which is the same method word processors use, so a hyphenated compound counts as one word and a numeral counts as a word. Characters include spaces and punctuation unless you read the without-spaces figure alongside it.
Reading and speaking times are estimates from your word count: 200 words per minute for silent reading and 140 for speaking aloud. Real speeds vary with the difficulty of the text and the reader, so treat the figure as a planning number, not a measurement.
