Reports contain counts only, without your original text. Reading time is an estimate.
Your text is counted on your device without libraries, uploads, an account or browser storage. Live counts help you check length as you edit. Reports contain only totals and counting notes, so your original writing is not included.
Modern browsers use Unicode word and grapheme segmentation. Words include word-like segments; punctuation and emoji alone do not count as words. A combined emoji or a letter with combining marks normally counts as one character. Older browsers fall back to Unicode code points for characters and a simpler word rule. Word boundaries can vary by browser and language.
Whitespace graphemes such as spaces, tabs and line breaks are excluded from that total. The full character count includes them. Invisible non-whitespace characters may still count, and a Windows CRLF line break normally counts as one grapheme.
Paragraphs are nonempty blocks separated by a blank line. A single line break remains in the same paragraph. Lines count physical line breaks, including a final empty line, but an empty input has zero lines. Visual wrapping does not add lines. Sentence segmentation is approximate, especially with abbreviations or unusual punctuation.
It is a rough estimate calculated from word count and your selected words per minute, rounded up to the next second. It does not account for reading difficulty, images, comprehension or individual reading habits.
The tool accepts up to 200,000 UTF-16 text units to keep processing manageable. Some emoji occupy multiple units. Oversized input stays in the editor, but counts and exports are unavailable until you shorten it. The tool does not truncate your text.
The report includes counts, reading time, the selected reading speed and counting-method notes. It does not contain your original text. Text remains in page memory and is cleared when you clear it or reload the page.
