Frequently asked questions
How does the word counter work?+
Just type or paste your text and the counts update instantly. It measures words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and estimates reading and speaking time.
How is reading time calculated?+
Reading time assumes an average silent reading speed of about 200 words per minute, and speaking time assumes about 130 words per minute. They're estimates to help you gauge length.
Is my text stored or uploaded?+
No. Everything is counted in your browser as you type — your text is never sent anywhere, stored, or logged. It also works offline.
Is there a character limit?+
No. Paste essays, articles, or whole documents — there's no limit and no sign-up.
