Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the word count?
Our word counter splits text by whitespace and counts all words separated by spaces, tabs, or line breaks. This matches the counting method used by most word processors like Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
Does the character count include spaces?
We provide both counts: characters with spaces and characters without spaces. Many platforms like Twitter count spaces, while others don't. Choose the metric that matches your needs.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is the standard for adult silent reading. The actual time may vary based on text complexity and reading ability.
What are keyword density statistics?
The tool identifies the 5 most frequently used words (excluding common words like "the", "and", "is"). This helps you see which topics or themes dominate your text and avoid overusing certain words.
Can I use this for SEO content?
Yes! This tool is perfect for checking content length for SEO. Most SEO experts recommend 300-2000 words for blog posts. Use the keyword density feature to ensure proper keyword usage without over-optimization.
Is my text stored or saved anywhere?

Does this work offline?
