How does the word and character counter work?
A: Our counter tool instantly calculates the number of words and characters in your text as you type or paste it into the input box. It uses advanced algorithms to ensure accurate counting, even with complex text formats.
Is the text I input saved anywhere?
A: No, we do not store or save any of the text you input for counting. Your privacy is important to us, and the text is processed in real-time without being saved on our servers.
What counts as a word?
A: We define a word as a string of characters separated by spaces or punctuation. This means that hyphenated words (like “self-assured”) count as one word, while contractions (like “don’t”) also count as one word.
Does the character count include spaces?
A: By default, our character count includes all characters, including spaces. However, we also provide a separate count for characters without spaces.
Can I use this tool for any type of text?
A: Yes, you can use our tool for any type of text, including essays, articles, blog posts, social media content, and more. It works with various languages and special characters.
Is there a limit to how much text I can count?
A: While there’s no strict limit, for optimal performance, we recommend keeping your text under 100,000 characters at a time. For longer texts, you can split them into sections and count each separately.
Does the tool work on mobile devices?
A: Yes, our website is fully responsive and works on all devices, including smartphones and tablets.
Is this service free?
A: Yes, WordCharacterCounter.com is completely free to use. We believe in providing value without cost to our users.
How accurate is the counter?
A: Our counter is highly accurate and regularly tested against other industry-standard counting tools. However, if you notice any discrepancies, please let us know, and we’ll investigate.
Can I get a detailed breakdown of my text (e.g., sentence count, reading time)?
A: Currently, we focus on providing accurate word and character counts. We’re considering adding more detailed text analysis features in the future based on user feedback.
