Frequently Asked Questions
- Does it show reading time or keyword density?
- No. This tool reports exactly five figures: words, characters, characters without spaces, sentences and paragraphs. It does not estimate reading or speaking time, does not analyse keywords, and does not compare your text against any platform's character limit.
- How are Chinese, Japanese and Korean texts counted?
- Each Han, Hiragana, Katakana or Hangul character counts as one word, because those scripts do not put spaces between words. A ten-character Chinese sentence therefore reports ten words, not two or three as a translation would suggest.
- Why does the sentence count look too high?
- Sentences are split on punctuation alone — a period, exclamation mark, question mark, ellipsis or line break ends one. Nothing understands abbreviations or decimals, so "Dr. Smith" counts as two and a number like 3.14 adds an extra sentence.
- Why do emoji and numbers affect the counts unexpectedly?
- The character count uses JavaScript string length, which measures UTF-16 units, so an emoji outside the basic plane counts as two characters. And a word must contain at least one letter, so digits are skipped: "I have 3 cats" reports three words, not four.
