Frequently Asked Questions
What does the word counter count exactly?
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace and punctuation. Characters are counted including and excluding spaces. Sentences are detected by periods, exclamation marks, and question marks. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200–250 words per minute, which is the average adult reading speed. The estimate is shown in minutes and seconds.
Does the tool work with non-English text?
Yes, the word counter works with any language that uses spaces between words. Character counting works for all languages including CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean).
Is there a character or word limit?
There is no hard limit. The tool handles documents of any length, though very large texts (100,000+ words) may slow down slightly on older devices.
