You can get the content length with the following code:

int getContentLength() {
  return quillController.document.toPlainText().trimRight().length;
}

Then add a totalListener to the quillController:

ValueNotifier<int> total = ValueNotifier(0);
void totalListener() {
  WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
    total.value = getContentLength();
  });
}

Register this Listener in initState():

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  quillController.addListener(totalListener);
}

and dispose:

@override
void dispose() {
  quillController.removeListener(totalListener);
  quillController.dispose();

  super.dispose();
}

This way you can get the number of characters in real time
