How are words counted?
Words are counted by splitting your text on whitespace and punctuation, then counting non-empty groups. This matches how most word processors count words.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time uses an average of 200 words per minute. Technical content reads slower, light content reads faster. Treat the number as a rough guide.
Does this tool send my text anywhere?
No. The word counter runs entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
Is there a character limit?
There is no hard limit. The tool can handle long documents, but very large texts may slow down older devices.
