Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this word counter

How accurate is the word count?

This word counter uses regex-based tokenization with Unicode support. It counts every word separated by spaces, punctuation, or line breaks, matching industry-standard word processors.

What file formats can I upload?

You can upload TXT, MD, CSV, JSON, TSV, HTML, XML, CSS, JS, SQL, DOCX, ODT, and LOG files. Simply drag and drop or click to browse.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time uses 225 words per minute, speaking time uses 150 words per minute. Both round up to the nearest minute using Math.ceil.

Can I set word count goals?

Yes! Set custom targets for words or characters and track your progress with a visual indicator showing percentage completed.

Is my text stored anywhere?

All processing runs locally in the browser using JavaScript. Text is never transmitted to any server. Auto-save uses IndexedDB for session persistence. Close the tab and all data is released.

How does keyword density work?

Keyword density shows the percentage each word appears in your text. The top 5 most frequent words are visually highlighted with colored badges (Gold, Silver, Bronze) for easy identification. This helps with SEO optimization and content analysis.

Technical Details

How this word counter processes text

Counting Algorithm

This word counter uses regex-based tokenization with full Unicode support to split text into words, sentences, and paragraphs. The algorithm handles edge cases including multiple whitespace, line breaks, tabs, and mixed-language content. Word boundaries follow Unicode Text Segmentation (UAX #29) for accurate multi-language word count results.

Readability Metrics

The character counter calculates reading time based on 225 words per minute for reading (150 WPM for speaking time), rounding up with Math.ceil. Keyword density analysis identifies the top recurring words with percentage frequency, displayed with ranked badges. These metrics help writers optimize content length for SEO and audience engagement.

Character Analysis

The online word counter tracks characters with and without spaces, paragraph count, sentence count, and average word length. Real-time analysis updates on every keystroke with zero latency - all processing runs client-side in your browser. File uploads support .txt, .md, .csv, .json, .html, .xml, and .docx formats up to 10MB.

Export & Persistence

Export detailed text analysis reports in TXT, CSV, or JSON format including full word frequency tables and readability levels. The word count tool auto-saves your text to IndexedDB for session persistence - your work survives browser refreshes. Fullscreen mode provides distraction-free writing with live statistics overlay.
