Frequently asked questions
Does it count words in other languages?
Yes for space-separated languages. Languages without spaces (Chinese, Japanese) count differently and character count is the better metric.
Why two character counts?
Some limits include spaces (most social platforms); some don't (certain forms and SMS billing). Both are shown.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No — everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type leaves your device.
Does punctuation affect the word count?
No. Punctuation attached to a word (like a period or comma) is part of that token, not a separate word.
