A page of A4 is about 500 words of standard quality, written English - or 2500 characters. So you could write a Javascript function that counts individual spaces, or counts total characters.

In the various Ajax libraries there are textarea countdown controls which count the characters entered (JS event handler onKeyUp is usually interrupted).
