Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Word Counter?

The Word Counter is an online text tool that counts words, characters, sentences and paragraphs. It runs entirely in your browser with no data sent to any server.

How does the tool count words in mixed Chinese and English text?

The tool counts Chinese characters individually and English words separated by spaces. Each Chinese character is counted as one word, while English words are delimited by whitespace. This provides accurate counts for bilingual content.

How is the reading time estimated?

Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 200-250 words per minute for English text. For Chinese text, the estimate uses approximately 300-500 characters per minute. The result is displayed in minutes.

What character categories are tracked?

The tool tracks Chinese characters, English letters, digits, punctuation marks, and spaces separately. It also shows total character count with and without spaces, giving you a complete breakdown of your text composition.

Does the counter update in real time?

Yes. The word counter updates in real time as you type or paste text. All statistics including word count, character count, line count, paragraph count, and reading time are recalculated instantly with each keystroke.
