Frequently Asked Questions
How is a "word" defined for the count?
A word is generally defined as a sequence of characters separated by a space or other whitespace characters (like tabs or new lines). For example, "hello world" counts as two words.
How are sentences and paragraphs counted?
Sentences are counted based on the presence of terminal punctuation marks (., !, ?). Paragraphs are counted based on line breaks (i.e., when you press the "Enter" key to start a new line).
Is my text saved or stored anywhere?
No. This is a browser-only tool, which means all the processing happens on your own computer. Your text is never sent to, or stored on, any external server. Your privacy is guaranteed.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes. Once the page has been loaded, all the functionality will work perfectly even if you disconnect from the internet, because all the counting logic is handled by JavaScript running in your browser.
