Frequently Asked Questions

Our word counter analyzes your text directly in your browser using JavaScript — no data is ever sent to any server. It splits text by whitespace to count words, identifies sentence boundaries using punctuation marks (. ! ?), counts paragraphs by newline separators, and calculates reading/speaking time using industry-standard words-per-minute rates (238 WPM for reading, 130 WPM for speaking). Everything updates in real-time as you type.

Character count includes every single character — letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation, and special symbols. Characters without spaces excludes all whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). This distinction matters because many platforms like Twitter limit character counts including spaces, while others like meta descriptions for SEO often exclude spaces.

We use 238 words per minute, which is the widely accepted average reading speed for English-language non-fiction content. For technical or dense content, actual reading time may be slightly higher. For light blog posts, it may be slightly faster. Our estimate is a reliable benchmark used by content platforms like Medium.

Keyword density measures how frequently specific words appear in your text, shown as a percentage. It helps you identify overused words and optimize content. For SEO, it ensures you are not keyword-stuffing. For writing quality, it reveals repetitive language patterns so you can vary your vocabulary.

Yes — your text auto-saves to your browser's local storage every half-second. If you accidentally close the tab or your browser crashes, your text will be restored when you return. However, clearing your browser data will remove the saved text. For permanent storage, download your work as a TXT file.

Yes, once the page loads, the entire word counter works offline. Disconnect from the internet and continue writing — all analysis, counting, and auto-save features work without any network connection.

There is no hard limit — you can paste or type as much text as you want. For extremely large documents (50,000+ words), the analysis remains fast but the page may use more browser memory.

Unlike Word or Google Docs, our tool requires no installation, no account, and works instantly in any browser. You get additional features like keyword density analysis, speaking time, longest/shortest word identification, and a fullscreen distraction-free writing mode — all completely free and private.
