Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter work?
Our word counter splits your text by whitespace and counts each word. It updates in real-time as you type or paste content, providing instant feedback on your text length.
What is the difference between characters with and without spaces?
Characters with spaces counts every character including spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Characters without spaces excludes all whitespace, giving you the pure text length.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is the typical adult reading speed for online content.
What are stop words and why are they excluded?
Stop words are common words like "the," "is," "at," and "which" that appear frequently but carry little meaning. We exclude them from keyword analysis to show your most meaningful, content-specific words.
