Frequently asked questions
- How do I count characters with spaces?
- Paste your text into the box above - the counter shows characters with and without spaces right away. Like Word, it doesn’t count line breaks, and every accented letter and every emoji counts as one character.
- How many words are on a page?
- About 500 words fit on a single-spaced page in a 12-point font, and about 250 on a double-spaced one. The counter shows single-spaced pages to two decimal places - double the number for double spacing.
- How does the counter recognize words?
- A word is a run of characters between spaces that contains at least one letter or digit. “E-mail” is one word, while a lone dash or an ellipsis is not a word.
- Does my text go anywhere?
- No. The counter runs in your browser; the text isn’t sent to a server or saved anywhere. It’s gone when you close the page.
- How long will it take me to type the text?
- The counter gives the time at two speeds: 30 WPM (most people who are starting to learn type slower than that) and 60 WPM, a speed you reach by touch typing. You can measure your own speed in the free typing speed test.
Do you type a lot?
At 60 WPM instead of 30, you type the same text in half the time. See what counts as fast typing and how the touch typing course gets you there.
