Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the word count?
Our word counter uses the standard definition: words are separated by spaces or line breaks. It accurately handles multiple spaces, special characters, and various text formats. The count is identical to what Microsoft Word and Google Docs report.
What is the average reading speed?
We calculate reading time based on 200 words per minute, which is the average reading speed for adults reading non-technical content. For more technical or complex content, actual reading time may be slightly higher.
How is keyword density calculated?
Keyword density shows how frequently each word appears as a percentage of total words. We exclude common words ("the", "and", "is", etc.) and only count meaningful content words. This helps identify which keywords you're emphasizing in your text.
Can I export the statistics?
Yes! Use the "Export Report" button to download a complete text file with all statistics, your original text, and a timestamp. You can also copy just the statistics using the "Copy Stats" button.
Is there a character or word limit?
No, there are no limits. You can analyze texts of any length. The tool processes everything in your browser, so performance depends on your device's capabilities.
