Frequently Asked Questions
Does this support non-English languages?
Yes! We use advanced Unicode segmentation to correctly count words in languages like Sinhala, Hindi, Japanese, and more.
How is reading time calculated?
We use an average reading speed of 200 words per minute to estimate reading time.
What is the 'Unique Words' count?
This metric shows the total number of distinct words in your text, ignoring case. It helps you understand the vocabulary diversity of your writing.
How are syllables counted?
We use a heuristic algorithm that counts vowel groups and handles common patterns to estimate the number of syllables in each word.
What is the difference between 'Characters' and 'Characters (no spaces)'?
'Characters' counts every single keystroke including spaces and punctuation. 'Characters (no spaces)' ignores all whitespace, which is useful for certain academic or formatting requirements.
How does the Keyword Density work?
We analyze your text to find the most frequently used words and calculate their percentage usage. This helps in SEO optimization to avoid keyword stuffing.
Can I check limits for social media?
Yes, we have a dedicated section that shows you how close you are to the character limits for Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, and Google Meta descriptions.
Is my text saved?
