Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute.
Does the word counter work with languages other than English?
Yes, the tool counts words by splitting on whitespace, so it works with most Latin-script languages. For languages like Chinese or Japanese that do not use spaces, the character count is more useful than the word count.
How do I count characters excluding spaces?
The tool displays both total character count and character count without spaces, so you can see both values instantly.
Is my text stored or sent to a server?
No, the word counter runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
Can I use the word counter for essays with a word limit?
Yes, paste your essay and the tool shows the exact word count, which is helpful for meeting assignment, blog post, or social media character limits.
