Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool store or upload my text?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type is sent to our servers.
How is reading time calculated?
We estimate reading time using an average adult reading speed of about 200 words per minute.
Is there a limit to how much text I can paste?
No hard limit is enforced, but extremely large amounts of text may slow down your browser rather than the tool itself.
Can I count words in a different language?
Word counting relies on whitespace, so it works reasonably well for most space-separated languages. Character-based languages without spaces may count differently than expected.
