Frequently asked questions
How does the word counter work?
Your text is processed entirely in your browser. As you type or paste, EverydayKit updates word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts in real time so you always see current totals.
Is my text uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. Counting runs locally on your device. We do not send your content to a server or keep a copy after you leave the page.
What counts as a word?
Words are sequences of characters separated by spaces or line breaks. Hyphenated compounds and numbers typically count as single words, matching common editor and assignment rules.
Does it show reading time?
Yes. An estimated reading time is derived from your word count using a typical adult reading pace, which helps you gauge length for articles, emails, and talks.
Can I clear or replace the text quickly?
Use clear to empty the field, or select all and paste new content. Counts refresh immediately so you can switch drafts without reloading the page.
