Frequently asked questions
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Counting and keyword analysis run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type is sent to a server, logged, or stored.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, a commonly used average adult silent-reading speed.
How is the word count calculated?
Text is trimmed and split on whitespace, so a word count only counts sequences of non-whitespace characters — the same approach most word processors use.
Does it count words in other languages?
Yes — the word count works on whitespace-separated text in any language. Character count always reflects the exact number of characters entered.
