Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter work?
Paste or type text into the box. The word count updates in real time — no button to press.
How are words counted?
The tool uses the browser's built-in Intl.Segmenter API, which applies proper linguistic word-break rules for each language — including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai — rather than simply splitting on spaces.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading speed is calculated per script: CJK text at ~500 characters/minute; Latin text at ~238 words/minute. Mixed texts blend both rates proportionally.
Does it work for Japanese and Chinese?
Yes. Japanese and Chinese have no spaces between words. Intl.Segmenter uses dictionary-based rules to find word boundaries correctly in both languages.
Are spaces counted in the character total?
Characters counts everything including spaces. No spaces strips whitespace before counting.
Is there a word limit?
No limit is enforced. Very large texts may slow down older devices.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All processing runs locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes. The tool works in modern mobile browsers on iPhone and Android without any app install.
