Frequently Asked Questions
Which languages does the word counter support?
Chinese, English, and mixed text. Chinese is counted per character, while English is tokenised into words on whitespace.
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser and nothing is transmitted anywhere, so it is safe for confidential drafts.
How is the reading time estimated?
It assumes roughly 300 Chinese characters per minute and 200 English words per minute. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an exact figure.
Is there a length limit?
No. It handles long-form articles and full novel chapters, and the counts refresh in real time without noticeable lag.
