Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter work?
Our word counter analyzes your text in real-time as you type. It counts words by splitting the text on whitespace, counts characters including and excluding spaces, identifies sentences by punctuation marks (.!?), and detects paragraphs by line breaks.
Is this word counter free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. You can use it as many times as you want with no limits.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. For example, a 1000-word text would take approximately 5 minutes to read.
Does it work with different languages?
Yes, the word counter works with any language. For languages that don't use spaces between words (like Chinese or Japanese), the character count will be more accurate than the word count.
Is my text stored or tracked?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Your text never leaves your device and is not stored on any server.
