Frequently asked questions

How does the word counter define a word?+

Words are split on whitespace. Consecutive spaces are ignored so empty tokens are not counted.

Is my text stored on your servers?+

No. Processing happens entirely in your browser. We do not upload or store your content.

Does it count hyphenated words as one word?+

Yes. Hyphenated compounds without spaces count as a single word.

How do I count words in a Google Doc or Word document?+

Copy the selection or full document and paste it into ToolVera’s word counter. Counts update instantly in your browser, so you can trim drafts without uploading the file.

Does the word counter include numbers and contractions?+

Yes. Digits, dates, and contractions like “don’t” are counted as words when separated by whitespace, which matches how most editors estimate length.
