Frequently asked questions
Does the word counter work offline?
Yes. All counting happens in your browser, so your text is never uploaded and the tool keeps working without a connection once loaded.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time uses an average of 200 words per minute, a common estimate for adult silent reading.
Does it count spaces as characters?
It shows both "characters" (including spaces) and "characters (no spaces)" so you can use whichever a form requires.
