Frequently Asked Questions
What readability metrics are calculated?
No readability grades here — the tool reports words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, reading time at 200 wpm, and speaking time at 150 wpm. Match length to the slot first; judge difficulty by ear.
Does it count character and character-no-spaces?
Yes. The tool provides word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, reading time, and speaking time — all updating in real time as you type or paste text. There is no syllable count.
What is the keyword density feature?
There is no keyword input or density readout — the tool counts words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs only. For density, divide occurrences by total words yourself (above roughly 2–3% reads stuffed).
Is there a speaking time estimate?
Yes — reading time divides by 200 wpm and speaking time by 150 wpm, both rounded up: a 1500-word draft shows 8m read and 10m speak. Useful for presentations and voiceover scripts.
When using Word Counter, is my text stored or transmitted?
No. All analysis runs locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server or stored beyond the current session.
