FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about word & character counter.
Does it count words in real time?
Yes. Every statistic updates live as you type or paste text, with no button to press and no page reload.
How is reading time calculated?
The word count is divided by the standard 200 words per minute reading speed and rounded up to the next minute.
How are sentences counted?
The text is split on sentence-ending punctuation such as . ! and ? when followed by whitespace or the end of the input.
What counts as a paragraph?
Paragraphs are blocks of text separated by one or more blank lines, so a single block of text counts as one paragraph.
Which statistics are shown?
Words, characters, characters without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and estimated reading time, each in its own card.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Counting happens locally in your browser, so drafts and sensitive copy stay on your device and are never transmitted.
