Frequently Asked Questions
How does the word counter work?
The counter analyzes the text you enter and updates every total immediately. When supported, it uses the browser's language-aware text segmentation to recognize words and sentences more accurately.
Is my text uploaded or stored?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser. The text you enter is not sent to Resnova or saved by this tool.
How is reading time calculated?
The estimate uses an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. Actual reading time can vary based on the reader and the complexity of the text.
