A few useful things to know
How are words counted?
The tool uses your browser’s language-aware word segmentation when available. Older browsers fall back to groups of letters and numbers. Different writing systems and editors may count words differently.
What counts as a character?
Characters include spaces and line breaks. Emoji sequences are counted as one character when your browser supports text segmentation. The separate no-spaces count removes whitespace. Reading time is an estimate, not a timer.
