Frequently asked questions

How are words counted?

Words are split with your browser's language-aware segmenter, so punctuation is ignored and languages without spaces are handled correctly.

Are spaces counted as characters?

The Characters total includes spaces and line breaks; Characters (no spaces) excludes all whitespace — useful for limits like meta descriptions or SMS.

How is reading time estimated?

Reading time assumes about 238 words per minute and speaking time about 150 words per minute — typical averages for adult readers and presenters.

Is my text saved or uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser; closing the page discards the text.
