Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the word counter?
The counter splits on whitespace and filters empty tokens, matching the standard definition of a word. Hyphenated words like 'well-known' count as one word.
Does it count characters with or without spaces?
Both. The tool shows character count with spaces and without spaces separately so you can use whichever metric you need.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is a common average for general reading. Academic or technical text may take longer.
Is there a word limit?
No. You can paste as much text as you like — entire books, essays, or articles. The counter updates live as you type.
Do you store my text?
No. All counting happens entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
