Privacy Notice

All character counting and text analysis happens locally in your browser. No text is sent to any server. Your data stays completely private and secure.

How It Works

The tool uses JavaScript to analyze your text in real-time, calculating statistics like character count, word count, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading time based on average reading speed of 200 words per minute.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between character count with and without spaces?

Character count with spaces includes all spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Without spaces counts only the actual text characters, excluding all whitespace.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. The tool divides your word count by 200 to calculate the estimated reading duration.

Does this tool work offline?

Yes! Once the page loads, the character counter works completely offline. There's no server connection needed for any of the analysis features.

How are sentences counted?

The tool counts sentences by looking for periods (.), question marks (?), and exclamation marks (!). Each punctuation mark represents the end of a sentence.

Can I count paragraphs?

Yes. The tool counts paragraphs by identifying sections of text separated by line breaks. Multiple consecutive line breaks are treated as a single paragraph separator.

Can I copy the results?

Yes! Use the "Copy Text" button to copy your input text, or "Copy Stats" to copy all the statistics as formatted text to your clipboard.
