Frequently Asked Questions

How is the word count calculated?

Our tool uses a precise method to count words by identifying sequences of alphabetic and numeric characters separated by spaces or punctuation. This ensures a more accurate count than simple methods that just split text by spaces.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is estimated based on the average reading speed of an adult, which is approximately 225 words per minute. We divide the total word count by this number to give you a close estimate of how long it will take to read your text.

What is keyword density and why is it useful for SEO?

Keyword density is a percentage that shows how often a specific word or phrase appears in a text compared to the total word count. It helps SEO professionals and writers ensure their content is focused on the main topic without "keyword stuffing," which can be penalized by search engines.

Is the text I enter saved or stored anywhere?

No. Your privacy is very important to us. This tool performs all calculations directly in your browser on your computer. Your text is never sent to or stored on our servers.

How are sentences and paragraphs counted?

Sentences are counted by identifying punctuation marks like periods, question marks, and exclamation points. Paragraphs are counted by looking for line breaks, where empty lines separate blocks of text.
