Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool count spaces and punctuation as characters?
Yes, we provide two character counts. The 'Character Count' include all visible characters, spaces, and punctuation, while the 'Characters (no spaces)' metric focuses solely on letters, numbers, and symbols.
Is there a limit to how much text I can count?
There is no hard limit. Our tool can handle hundreds of thousands of words instantly because it processes the data on your machine, not on a slow server.
How do you calculate reading time?
We use an average reading speed of 200-250 words per minute, which is the standard for adult readers. This provides a realistic estimate for blog posts and articles.
Is my text data private and safe?
Absolutely. We do not use any cloud-based processing for your text. Everything happens in your browser's memory and is destroyed as soon as you close the tab.
Privacy & Security
Privacy is our priority. Unlike many other online tools, ToolsHub doesn't upload your data to any server. Whether you're processing sensitive text, calculating financial data, or generating passwords, everything stays in your browser.
