Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the word counter?
Our word counter is highly accurate and uses the same counting method as Microsoft Word and Google Docs. It counts words by splitting text at whitespace boundaries, which is the industry standard.
Does it count words in real-time?
Yes! The counter updates instantly as you type or paste text. You'll see all statistics change in real-time without needing to click any buttons or refresh the page.
What is the reading time based on?
Reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is the standard for most adults. This helps you estimate how long it takes to read your content.
Can I use this for essays and assignments?
Absolutely! Our word counter is perfect for students checking essay length requirements, tracking assignment word counts, and ensuring you meet minimum or maximum word limits.
Is my text data secure and private?
Yes, completely secure. All counting happens directly in your web browser using JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded to our servers, stored, or transmitted anywhere.
What's the difference between characters and characters (no spaces)?
Characters include all letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces. Characters (no spaces) excludes all whitespace, which is useful for certain platforms with character limits that don't count spaces.
Can I copy the statistics?
Yes! Click the "Copy Stats" button to copy all your text statistics to the clipboard in a formatted layout. Perfect for sharing metrics or keeping records.
