Frequently Asked Questions
How does this word counter work?
The tool analyzes your text directly in your browser and updates word, character, sentence, paragraph, and line counts as you type or paste text. It does not require an account or a paid API.
What is the difference between words and characters?
Words are groups of letters or numbers separated by whitespace. Characters include letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces. Characters without spaces excludes whitespace characters.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated using your selected reading speed in words per minute. Actual reading time depends on language, text complexity, and the reader.
How accurate is the sentence count?
Sentence counting uses common punctuation marks as an estimate. Abbreviations, decimal numbers, and unusual writing styles can affect the result.
Does the word counter support different languages?
The tool supports Unicode text and works with many writing systems. Word segmentation can vary for languages that do not normally separate words with spaces.
Is my text uploaded or stored?
The counting and analysis run locally in your browser. This tool does not send your text to a custom server or store it in a database. Your browser or other extensions may have their own behavior.
