Frequently asked questions
Is this word counter free?
Yes. You can count unlimited text for free, with no sign-up required.
How is reading time calculated?
It divides your word count by an average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute.
How are sentences counted?
Sentences are detected by periods, question marks and exclamation marks. Like most word counters, this is an approximation — it may not perfectly handle abbreviations such as "Mr."
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Counting happens locally in your browser as you type.
