Frequently asked questions
Is this word counter free?
Yes. Unlimited use, no account, and no ads required to see the count.
Do you store the text I paste?
No. Counting runs in your browser only. Closing the tab clears the text.
How is reading time calculated?
We use about 200 words per minute, a common silent-reading average. It is an estimate, not a stopwatch.
Does it count characters with spaces?
Yes. You get both characters with spaces and without, plus word and sentence totals.
