Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the sentence counter work?
A: The tool analyzes your text in real-time as you type or paste content. It counts sentences by identifying punctuation marks (periods, exclamation marks, and question marks) that end sentences.
Q: What's the difference between character count with and without spaces?
A: Character count with spaces includes all characters including spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Character count without spaces only counts visible characters, excluding all whitespace.
Q: How is reading time calculated?
A: Reading time is estimated based on 875 characters per minute (equivalent to 175 words × 5 characters average). This provides a more accurate and comfortable reading pace calculation by using actual character count rather than word count.
Q: How are paragraphs counted?
A: Paragraphs are counted by identifying blocks of text separated by double line breaks (empty lines). Single line breaks within a paragraph don't create a new paragraph count.
Q: Can I copy the statistics?
A: Yes! Click the "Copy Stats" button to copy all text statistics to your clipboard in a formatted layout that you can paste anywhere.
Q: Is there a limit to how much text I can analyze?
A: There's no strict limit, but for optimal performance with very large documents, the tool works best with texts up to several thousand words. For longer documents, consider analyzing sections individually.
Q: Does the tool work for different languages?
A: Yes, the sentence counter works with any language that uses Latin-script characters and standard punctuation marks for sentence endings.
Q: What file formats can I analyze?
A: You can paste plain text from any source including Word documents, PDFs, web pages, emails, and text files. Simply copy and paste the content into the text area.
Q: Is my text data secure?
A: Absolutely! All text analysis is performed locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security of your content.
