Does the character count include spaces?

We show both: characters with spaces and characters without spaces. This is useful for different requirements.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time uses a rough estimate of 200 whitespace-separated words per minute. Actual time varies by language, script, subject, and reader.

What does the repeated-terms list show?

It shows frequently occurring Unicode letter or number sequences. Treat it as a basic editing aid, not an SEO score or a linguistic analysis.

Does it recognise Indian-language punctuation?

Sentence counting recognises full stops, question marks, exclamation marks, and the Devanagari danda and double danda. Other language-specific boundaries may still need manual review.

Are word counts identical in every language?

No. The tool counts words separated by whitespace. Languages and writing systems use different word-boundary rules, so compare the result with the requirement you are working to.

How do I check paragraph count?

Our tool counts paragraphs automatically. Each block of text separated by blank lines counts as one paragraph.

Can I count words in different languages?

The tool preserves Unicode text and works best for languages that separate words with spaces. Word-boundary conventions vary, so use the character count when that is the required limit.
