Frequently asked questions

How is a word counted?

Text is split on whitespace, so any run of non-space characters counts as one word. Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.

What is the difference between the two character counts?

'Characters' counts everything including spaces and line breaks; 'Characters without spaces' excludes all whitespace.

How are sentences detected?

Sentences are estimated by splitting on . ! and ? A block of text with no ending punctuation still counts as one sentence.
