How accurate is the online word counter?

Our word counter is highly accurate. It counts sequences of non-whitespace characters as words, matching the standard definition used by Microsoft Word and Google Docs. It also correctly counts sentences (by punctuation markers . ! ?) and paragraphs (separated by blank lines).

Does the word counter work with languages other than English?

Yes. The counter works with any language that uses space-separated words, including French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, and more. For languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean that don't use spaces between words, character count is the most relevant metric.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is the average reading speed for adults. A 1,000-word article takes approximately 5 minutes to read. This estimate is shown in minutes and is useful for blog posts, articles, and presentations.

What is the difference between characters with and without spaces?

Characters with spaces counts every single character including spaces, tabs, and newlines. Characters without spaces counts only non-whitespace characters. Publishers, ad platforms, and some academic institutions use the 'without spaces' count for billing and submission requirements.
