Frequently Asked Questions
How are words counted?▼
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Each separate group of characters counts as one word. Punctuation attached to words is included in the word.
How is reading time calculated?▼
Reading time is calculated at 238 words per minute, which is the average adult silent reading speed according to research. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute.
Does this tool count characters with or without spaces?▼
Both! We show total characters (including spaces) and characters without spaces. This is useful for platforms with character limits like Twitter (280 chars) or meta descriptions (155 chars).
Is my text stored or sent to a server?▼
No. All counting happens entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device. This tool is 100% client-side.
