Frequently Asked Questions
How does the WordCounter tool work?
WordCounter analyzes your text in real-time as you type or paste it into the text area. It counts words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs using JavaScript algorithms. The tool also estimates reading and speaking time based on average speeds and evaluates reading level using a simplified Flesch-Kincaid method.
What is the difference between character count and word count?
Character count includes every single character in your text, including letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation marks. Word count only counts complete words, which are sequences of characters separated by spaces.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. This is a standard estimate used by many reading applications and content platforms.
How is speaking time calculated?
Speaking time is calculated based on an average speaking speed of 130 words per minute. This accounts for natural pauses, emphasis, and the rhythm of spoken language.
What does the reading level indicator mean?
The reading level is determined by analyzing the average sentence length in your text. Shorter sentences typically indicate easier reading material, while longer, more complex sentences suggest a higher reading level. The tool uses a simplified version of the Flesch-Kincaid readability test.
Is my text stored or saved anywhere?
No, your text is processed entirely in your browser and is not sent to any server. This means your content remains completely private and secure.
Can I use WordCounter on mobile devices?
Yes, WordCounter is fully responsive and works on all devices including smartphones and tablets. The interface adapts to different screen sizes for optimal usability.
Is there a limit to how much text I can analyze?
There’s no strict limit, but very long texts may slow down the processing slightly. For optimal performance, we recommend analyzing texts under 100,000 words at a time.
