Frequently asked questions

Is this word counter free?
Yes — completely free with no account or signup required. Count as much text as you need.
Does it count characters with or without spaces?
Both — the counter shows characters with spaces and characters without spaces separately so you can use whichever your platform requires.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on the average adult silent reading speed of 238 words per minute. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute, which is a comfortable speaking pace.
What does keyword density show?
Keyword density shows the most frequently used words in your text, ignoring common stop words like "the", "and", "is". This is useful for SEO writing and checking if your key terms appear enough times.
