Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between characters and characters without spaces?
Characters includes all characters including spaces. Characters without spaces excludes spaces, which is useful for platforms that count only visible characters.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is typically calculated based on average reading speed of 200-250 words per minute. This gives an estimate of how long it takes to read the content.
Does the counter work with multiple languages?
Yes, the word counter works with any language and character set. It counts words based on whitespace separation and handles Unicode characters properly.
Can I count words in formatted text?
The counter works with plain text. If you paste formatted text, it will count all visible words. Formatting characters are typically not counted as words.
