Word Counter

How the counts are defined

Words are splits on whitespace. "New Delhi" is 2 words. Leading and trailing space does not add a word. An empty box is 0 words. Characters is the raw string length, including spaces and line breaks. No spaces removes every whitespace character and counts what remains, so "New Delhi" is 9 characters and 8 without the space. Lines are split on \n. An empty box has 0 lines; a single character with no newline has 1 line.

Sentences use the pattern of . ! or ? followed by whitespace or the end of the text. If the text has words but no terminator, the count is 1, so a form answer with no full stop still counts as one sentence. Paragraphs are blocks separated by a blank line. Read time is words divided by 200, rounded up, and at least 1 minute when there is at least one word. It is a reading estimate, not a speaking time.

Indian application boxes often cap "characters with spaces". Use the Characters card for that, not Words. HTML tags are not stripped: <b>Delhi</b> counts the brackets. A hard line break from a PDF paste counts as a character and can split one sentence into two lines without creating a new paragraph unless there is a blank line. Nothing is uploaded. The numbers update as you type.

How to use it

1. Paste the draft into the box. You do not need a button.
2. Read Characters when the form says "maximum characters", and Words when it says "words".
3. Use No spaces only when the notice explicitly excludes spaces.
4. If a PDF paste inflated the line count, clean the breaks on Remove Line Breaks and paste the result back.
