How to use it
Good for
A word counter is useful when the destination has a hard limit, a soft expectation, or a readability target and the text editor in front of you does not show the numbers you actually need. Writers use it before pasting a meta description, an ad variation, a product bullet list, a social post, a grant response, a cover letter, a press quote, a newsletter intro, or a help-centre answer into a system that will truncate or reject overlong copy. Developers and support teams use it on release notes, changelog entries, support macros, error messages, and form validation copy where a single extra sentence can make the UI feel crowded. Editors use it to compare two versions of the same paragraph: the word count might stay close while the character count drops enough to fit a card, or the sentence count might rise enough to make the text easier to scan. The privacy reason is simple: small pieces of copy often contain client names, unreleased product details, internal URLs, or customer examples. Counting them in the browser removes the need to paste them into a remote counter just to find out whether the piece is 87 words or 113 words.

Questions
The counter looks for Unicode letters and numbers, then keeps common internal apostrophes and hyphens inside the word when they are surrounded by letters or numbers. That means `customer-focused`, `don't`, and `version-2` are treated as one token instead of being split into fragments. It is still a practical web-writing counter, not a linguistic parser for every language.
Every editor has its own token rules. Some count emoji as characters differently, some split hyphenated terms, some count footnotes, and some ignore hidden formatting. This page is designed for plain pasted text and browser-local editorial checks. If a publishing system enforces a limit, treat that system as the final authority.
The visible character counts are human-facing counts based on Unicode code points, not UTF-8 bytes. The runtime cap is measured separately with `TextEncoder` so the tool can refuse very large input before the browser becomes sluggish. For byte-level work, use a file or encoding tool instead of a writing counter.
No. Reading time uses 200 words per minute and speaking time uses 130 words per minute. Those are useful editorial defaults, but real speed varies by audience, language, layout, and subject. Use the estimates for planning, not as a promise about every reader or speaker.
No. The parser runs in this page with standard JavaScript string operations. The pasted text, the repeated-term list, and any downloaded summary stay on your device. There is no upload, no account, and no server-side text analysis.
Yes. The core workflow stays free. Optional Day and Project Passes add more file and batch headroom on supported file-pipeline tools when you hit the free limits.
