Frequently asked questions

Does it work with other languages?

Yes. It uses your browser's own language rules to find words, so Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and other languages are counted too.

How is a character counted?

Each visible character counts as one, including emoji and letters with accents or marks. Characters without spaces leaves out spaces, tabs and line breaks.

How is reading time worked out?

Reading time assumes 200 words a minute and speaking time 130 words a minute. These are averages, so treat them as a guide.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Everything is counted in your browser.

Is there a limit?

Up to 500,000 characters.
