FAQ

Do you store my text?

No. Counts are computed in your browser. The only exception is CSV export, which sends the text to the server to generate the file.

How do you count characters?

“Characters (with spaces)” includes letters, digits, punctuation, spaces, and line breaks. “Characters (no spaces)” removes all whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines).

How are words counted?

Words are counted as unicode word-like tokens (letters/digits, with optional inner apostrophes or dashes). Results may differ slightly from word processors depending on punctuation and formatting.

What is a paragraph in this tool?

A paragraph is a block of text separated by one or more blank lines (two or more line breaks). This is a practical definition for web content audits.

Why do “lines” change when I paste text?

Different apps use different newline formats (LF vs CRLF). The tool normalizes newlines so the line count is consistent.

Is reading time accurate?

It’s an estimate based on 200 words/min. Real reading speed depends on language, complexity, and audience.

What do “numbers” and “punctuation” counts include?

“Numbers” counts individual digits. “Punctuation” counts common punctuation marks (periods, commas, quotes, dashes, etc.). These are optional indicators for cleaning up text and checking formatting.

Why can stats differ from Google Docs / Word?

Different tools use different rules (especially for emojis, special spaces, hyphenated words, and punctuation). Use this counter for consistent web-style audits and quick SEO checks.
