How to use Word & Character Counter
- Type, paste or import plain UTF-8 TXT/Markdown text. Counts update locally after a short typing pause.
- Select a passage for separate counts. Optionally set a word/character goal and adjust reading/speaking pace or segmentation language.
- Inspect repeated words or 2/3-word phrases; common English words can be hidden. Length indicators describe structure, not writing quality.
- Copy or download your draft or count report. Clear text when finished; one-step restore lasts until the next edit. Nothing is automatically saved.
A practical example
Compare a two-paragraph draft with estimated reading at 200 words/minute.
How it works
Intl.Segmenter word/grapheme/sentence boundaries with Unicode fallback, normalized line endings for line/paragraph analysis; case-insensitive NFC phrase frequencies; reading 200 wpm and speaking 130 wpm by default, adjustable by user. Debounced cancellable browser workers keep text local.
Limits and assumptions
1 MiB UTF-8 input; 20-second cancellable local worker jobs. Word, sentence and visible-character segmentation depends on browser/language, with a disclosed simpler fallback. Whitespace is excluded in the non-space count. Timing uses adjustable assumptions; goals are custom, not certified platform limits. English common-word filtering is optional. No grammar, plagiarism, AI or readability scoring; no automatic saving. Plain UTF-8 TXT/Markdown import only, not DOCX/PDF.
Frequently asked questions
What does Word & Character Counter help with?
A word counter measures draft length, while a character counter helps with limits expressed in characters. Mayexa shows both, including a non-whitespace count, selected-passage totals and reading or speaking estimates. These describe text length rather than judging writing quality.
What should I check before relying on the result?
Import plain UTF-8 TXT or Markdown within the 1 MiB limit. Phrase frequency can reveal repeated wording, but it is not a keyword-density target. Reading time is an adjustable assumption, not measured reader behavior. No grammar, plagiarism or AI-detection score is provided, and drafts are not automatically saved.
Do I need a Mayexa account?
No Mayexa account is required. Review the workspace's processing labels and limits before entering data.
Is my writing uploaded or saved?
No. Counting runs in local browser workers. There is no text upload, AI request or automatic draft saving. Copy/download before leaving. A cleared draft can be restored in memory until your next edit or navigation.
How are characters and spaces counted?
Characters use visible Unicode grapheme boundaries when supported; emoji sequences or combining marks can count as one. The non-space count removes all whitespace, including tabs and line breaks. Platform code-point or UTF-16 limits can differ.
How accurate are sentence and time estimates?
Sentence boundaries vary by language, abbreviations and browser segmentation. Reading defaults to 200 words/minute and speaking to 130; both are adjustable assumptions. Times round up to a second and are not measured speeds.
What extra writing insights are available?
Custom goals, selected-passage counts, word/phrase frequency, unique words, average words per sentence and sentences exceeding 25 words. These are length indicators; no grammar, plagiarism, AI or readability score is supplied.
What are the limits?
1 MiB UTF-8 input; 20-second cancellable local worker jobs. Word, sentence and visible-character segmentation depends on browser/language, with a disclosed simpler fallback. Whitespace is excluded in the non-space count. Timing uses adjustable assumptions; goals are custom, not certified platform limits. English common-word filtering is optional. No grammar, plagiarism, AI or readability scoring; no automatic saving. Plain UTF-8 TXT/Markdown import only, not DOCX/PDF.
