Frequently asked questions
Does it count characters with spaces?
Both. The tool shows characters with spaces and characters without spaces separately.

At 200 words per minute — the average silent reading speed for adults. It updates as you type.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. All counting happens in your browser and the text is never sent anywhere.
