Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter work?▾
The word counter splits your text by whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) and counts the resulting words. It runs entirely in your browser with no data sent to any server.
How is reading time calculated?▾
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is the average adult reading speed. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute, a comfortable presentation pace.
How are sentences counted?▾
Sentences are counted by splitting on sentence-ending punctuation (periods, exclamation marks, question marks). Abbreviations like "Dr." may slightly inflate the count.
Is there a character limit?▾
No, there is no character limit. The counter works with any amount of text and updates in real time as you type.
Is my text stored anywhere?▾
No. Everything runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere.
How are paragraphs counted?▾
Paragraphs are counted by splitting the text on blank lines (two or more consecutive newlines). A single line break does not start a new paragraph.
Does this work on mobile devices?▾
Yes. The word counter runs entirely in your browser and works on any device with a modern browser, including phones and tablets.
