Character Counter FAQ
Does the character count include spaces?
Yes. The main Characters metric includes spaces and punctuation, while Characters (no spaces) removes whitespace for a second view.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated from the current word count using 200 words per minute, and speaking time uses 130 words per minute.
What happens when the text box is empty?
The tool keeps the result layout visible and shows a zero state for every metric until you type or paste text.
