Is the word counter accurate?

Yes, our word counter uses industry-standard counting methods. Words are counted by splitting text at whitespace characters. The tool provides real-time accurate counts for words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs.

Does the word counter count spaces?

We provide both counts: "Characters" includes spaces, punctuation, and all characters, while "No Spaces" shows the count excluding all whitespace. This gives you flexibility depending on your specific requirements.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is typical for adult readers. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute. Actual times may vary based on content complexity and individual reading speed.

Is my text stored or sent to a server?

No, absolutely not. All text processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device, is never sent to any server, and is never stored anywhere. This ensures complete privacy and security for your content.

Does the word counter work offline?

Yes, once the page is loaded, the word counter works completely offline. All calculations happen in your browser, so you can count words even without an internet connection.

Is the word counter free to use?

Yes, this word counter is completely free to use with no limits, no registration required, and no hidden fees. You can count as much text as you want, as many times as you need.

What is the character or text limit?

There is no hard limit on the amount of text you can analyze. The tool can handle very large documents, though extremely large texts (hundreds of thousands of words) may slow down due to browser performance limitations.

What counts as a word?

A word is defined as any sequence of characters separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, or line breaks). This means hyphenated words like "real-time" count as one word, and numbers like "2024" also count as words.
