Formula Used
Character count = total Unicode characters in the processed text.
Characters without spaces = total characters after removing whitespace characters.
Word count = number of matched tokens using letter and number groups.
Sentence count = punctuation endings such as period, exclamation, or question mark.
Paragraph count = text blocks separated by one or more blank lines.
Byte count = total stored bytes using the current text encoding.
Average word length = total letters across words ÷ word count.
Average characters per line = character count ÷ line count.
Estimated reading time = word count ÷ 200 words per minute.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does this calculator count?
It counts characters, letters, digits, words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, whitespace, bytes, unique words, reading time, and the longest detected word.
2. Why do bytes and characters differ?
Characters measure visible symbols, while bytes measure storage size. Multibyte characters, such as accented letters or emojis, can increase byte totals.
3. What happens when trim mode is enabled?
Trim mode removes leading and trailing whitespace before analysis. This helps when pasted content includes accidental spaces or blank lines around the text.
4. Does it work for source code?
Yes. It is useful for comments, commit messages, JSON snippets, logs, prompts, documentation, and code blocks where structure and length matter.
5. How are words detected?
Words are matched using letter and number groups. Hyphenated and underscored tokens are treated as part of the same word unit.
6. Can I export my results?
Yes. You can download the active analysis as a CSV file or a lightweight PDF report directly from the calculator buttons.
7. Why is the result section above the form?
The layout places the latest summary immediately below the header, making comparison faster when you repeatedly test or revise text.
