- 02Review character, word, line, and reading-time totals.

How characters and words are counted
Characters use visible Unicode grapheme clusters, so a composed emoji is not inflated into several characters. Word counts use the browser's language-aware segmenter when available.
Using the reading-time estimate
Reading time uses a baseline of about 200 words per minute. It is useful for comparing drafts, although technical material may take longer.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text uploaded?
No. Counting happens entirely inside the current browser tab.
How are emoji counted?
Modern browsers count one visible composed emoji as one character through Intl.Segmenter.
