Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
The tool uses Intl.Segmenter, the browser’s built-in word boundary detection, and counts segments that contain letters or numbers. Hyphenated words count as separate words in some languages, so totals can differ slightly from word processors.
Is my text saved?
No. The text stays in this page only and disappears when you close or reload it.
