Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool define a word?
A word is defined as any sequence of characters separated by spaces. Punctuation attached to a word is typically included in the character count but does not count as a separate word.
Are special characters and symbols included in the count?
Yes. Every symbol, including punctuation, emojis, and special characters, is counted toward the total character count. You can see the difference between characters with and without spaces in the statistics.
How are paragraphs and sentences calculated?
Paragraphs are identified by line breaks or blank lines between text blocks. Sentences are identified by standard terminal punctuation marks such as periods (.), exclamation points (!), and question marks (?).
Is my text data stored on the server?
No. All text analysis is performed locally in your browser. Your content is never uploaded to a server or stored, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive documents.
