How accurate is the word count?

Our word counter uses industry-standard algorithms to provide highly accurate word counts. It properly handles contractions, hyphenated words, and various punctuation marks just like professional writing software.

Does the tool store my text or documents?

No, absolutely not. All text processing happens entirely in your browser. Your content never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security for sensitive documents.

Can I use this for large documents?

Yes, the word counter can handle large documents efficiently. However, extremely large texts (over 100,000 words) may cause slower performance depending on your device's capabilities.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed of 200-250 words per minute for adults. This accounts for typical online reading patterns and comprehension rates.

What's the difference between characters with and without spaces?

Characters with spaces include all letters, numbers, punctuation, and space characters. Characters without spaces exclude all whitespace, giving you the count of visible characters only.

Is this word counter tool completely free?

Yes, our word counter is completely free with unlimited use, no registration required, and no hidden costs. Count as much text as you need without any restrictions.
