Common Word and Character Limits
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the character counter include spaces?
Yes, by default, standard character limits (like on Twitter or for SMS) include spaces. However, our dashboard specifically provides a dedicated character counter without spaces metric right next to the total character count, so you have exactly the data you need.
Is there a maximum word limit I can check?
No! Because this is a browser-based online word count tool, it relies on your computer's memory rather than our servers. You can paste an entire 100,000-word novel into the text box, and it will calculate the results instantly without crashing or freezing.
How does the reading time calculator work?
Our reading time calculator assumes that the average adult reads at a speed of roughly 225 words per minute. For the "Speaking Time" estimation, it assumes a slightly slower, conversational pace of about 130 words per minute.
Is my text safe and private?
100% yes. We understand that you may be pasting unpublished manuscripts, sensitive emails, or private academic papers. The text you enter never leaves your browser and is never saved, stored, or transmitted to any external servers.
