- How does the word counter work?
- The word counter analyzes your text and provides detailed statistics including word count, character count (with and without spaces), line count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time. It considers words as groups of characters separated by spaces or punctuation.
- How is the reading time calculated?
- Reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed of 225 words per minute for adults reading in English. This may vary based on text complexity and individual reading speed.
- What counts as a word?
- A word is counted as any sequence of characters separated by spaces or punctuation. Numbers and special characters are counted as words if they're separated by spaces.
- How are paragraphs counted?
- Paragraphs are counted by identifying blocks of text separated by one or more empty lines. A single line of text is considered one paragraph.
- Is the text I paste saved anywhere?
- No, all text analysis is performed entirely in your browser. We don't store, save, or transmit your text anywhere. The tool works completely offline once loaded.
- Can I use this for any type of text?
- Yes, you can analyze any type of text including essays, articles, blog posts, stories, or any other written content. The tool works with any text in any language that uses space-separated words.
