How this word counter works

Words are counted by splitting your text on whitespace and ignoring empty fragments. Characters count every character including spaces; the second figure excludes spaces. Sentences are estimated by counting sentence-ending punctuation (. ! ?), and paragraphs are counted from line breaks. Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, a common average adult silent-reading speed.

Does this tool store or upload my text?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser β€” nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Why does my sentence count look off?
Sentence counting is approximate: abbreviations (like "Dr." or "e.g.") and decimal numbers can occasionally be miscounted as sentence breaks.
