Frequently asked questions

How is the word count calculated?
Words are counted by splitting the text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) and counting non-empty tokens, matching how most word processors count words.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time uses 200 words per minute (average silent reading speed). Speaking time uses 130 words per minute (conversational speaking pace).
Does my text get sent to a server?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
What does "No spaces" count?
Characters after removing all whitespace. Useful for platforms that count non-space characters, or for measuring text density.
How are sentences counted?
Sentences are approximated by counting full stops, exclamation marks, and question marks followed by whitespace or the end of the text.
