• Words are counted as whitespace-separated tokens after normalizing repeated spaces and line breaks.
• Characters are counted with and without spaces.
• Sentences are approximated from punctuation (. ! ?).
• Reading time uses a configurable words-per-minute assumption and is labeled as an estimate.

• Any plain text pasted or typed into the browser

• Word counts may differ from Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or language-specific tokenizers.
• Sentence detection is punctuation-based and imperfect for abbreviations and non-Latin scripts.
• Reading time is an estimate, not a guarantee of how long someone will take to read the text.

This tool runs in local-only mode. Your text or files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers for this feature. Keep originals on your device; downloads create a separate copy.

Is my text uploaded to a server?

No. The Word Counter processes text entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to our servers for this tool.

Why does this count differ from Word or Google Docs?

Different products use different tokenization rules. We document our simple whitespace-based approach and do not claim exact equivalence with office suites.

How is reading time calculated?

We divide the word count by a default of 200 words per minute. You can treat the result as a rough estimate only.
