Calculation Logic

The counter uses local JavaScript string analysis in your browser. Space-delimited languages are counted with Unicode letter and number boundaries, while Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters are treated as individual word units so mixed-language text is not collapsed into a single word.

Reading time defaults to about 225 words per minute, and speaking time defaults to about 150 words per minute. Actual speed varies by language, topic complexity, and delivery style, so the result is best used as a writing and publishing estimate.

FAQ

  • Does this tool save my text?
    • No. Counting runs locally in your browser, and your text is not uploaded to a server.
  • Does character count include spaces?
    • The tool shows both characters with spaces and characters without spaces, so you can match the rule used by your platform.
  • How does it count Chinese or mixed-language text?
    • CJK characters are counted as individual word units, while English words and numbers use word boundaries.
  • Is there a word limit?
    • There is no fixed server-side limit. Practical limits depend on your browser and device memory.
  • Does it check grammar or plagiarism?
    • No. This tool focuses on words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, time estimates, and keyword frequency. It does not provide its own grammar checker, AI detector, or plagiarism checker. Your browser may still show native spelling suggestions.
