How does the character counter work?

Our character counter analyses your text in real-time as you type. It counts every character including letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces. The 'without spaces' count excludes all space characters, which is useful for platforms with strict character limits.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute for adults. This is a conservative estimate — skilled readers may read faster, while technical content may take longer.

What counts as a sentence or paragraph?

A sentence is counted each time a period (.), question mark (?), or exclamation mark (!) is followed by a space or end of text. A paragraph is counted by the number of non-empty text blocks separated by line breaks.
