Does it count Hindi words correctly?
Yes. A Hindi word with matras and half letters counts as one word, and the danda (।) ends a sentence.
Can I count the words in a PDF or Word file?
Yes. Open the file and its text is counted on your device. A scanned PDF is a picture, so run it through the OCR Scanner first.
Are spaces counted as characters?
The character count includes spaces, and the count without spaces is shown next to it.
How is reading time worked out?
At about 225 words a minute for English and 150 for Hindi; speaking time uses 130 words a minute.
Is my text saved or uploaded?
Nothing is uploaded. The text is kept only in this browser so it is still there if you reload the page.
Is what I type sent to a server?
No. Word Counter: Words & Characters (Hindi Too) runs as JavaScript inside your own browser tab. Nothing you type is transmitted, and it keeps working without internet once the page has loaded.
