How this word counter works
The tool counts practical word-like tokens, characters, paragraphs and punctuation-based sentence estimates in your browser. Reading time is estimated from word count and the selected words-per-minute speed.
What this tool counts
Counts include words, characters with spaces, characters without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and estimated reading time. Punctuation is counted as characters, while whitespace is removed for the without-spaces count.
What this tool does not include
This is not a grammar checker, plagiarism checker, SEO scoring tool or perfect linguistic parser. Sentence and reading-time outputs are practical estimates.
Key terms and assumptionsShort notes about word tokens, character counts, sentence estimates and browser processing.
- Word tokens
- Words are counted with practical letter, number and apostrophe handling. It is not a full grammar parser.
- Characters
- Characters use a Unicode-aware code point count. Some combined emoji can count differently in other tools.
- Sentences
- Sentence count is a simple punctuation-based estimate.
- Browser processing
- The text is processed in the browser and does not need to be sent to a server.
