Frequently asked questions

Does it count characters with or without spaces?

Both. You get a total character count and a separate count without spaces, which is what most platforms with a character limit actually measure.

How is reading time calculated?

It assumes an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute, which is typical for adults reading on screen.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The counting happens in your browser; the text is never sent to a server.
