Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter work?
Our word counter analyzes your text in real-time as you type or paste it into the box. It uses standard algorithms to count words (separated by spaces), characters, sentences, and paragraphs instantly.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The word counting process happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security for your documents.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. This is a standard metric used across the web to give readers an idea of how long an article will take to consume.
Is there a limit to how much text I can count?
There is no strict limit enforced by our tool. However, extremely large documents (hundreds of pages) might cause your browser to slow down since the processing happens locally on your device.
