Count
Help improve UNQIRO
Allow anonymous usage statistics? UNQIRO would count only which tool was used, whether it finished and which links between the tools and the Format Lab were followed. Your files, text and results are never included, and this use is not counted.
How things are counted
- Words: Your browser’s language rules decide what a word is where available, which also works for many languages without spaces. Otherwise, letters and digits joined by apostrophes or hyphens count as one word.
- Characters: As people see them: an emoji or an accented letter counts once, even if it takes several code units. The count without spaces leaves out all whitespace.
- Lines and paragraphs: Lines are separated by line breaks; paragraphs by empty lines. Size shows the bytes the text takes as UTF-8.
- Reading time: Assumes 200 words per minute, a common average for reading on screen.
Frequently asked questions
Why does another counter give a different number?
Counters disagree on hyphenated words, numbers, URLs and emoji. This one follows the rules above consistently; for a hard limit, check the rules of the place you submit to.
Does it count characters the way X or SMS do?
Not exactly. Some platforms count certain characters, such as emoji or links, differently. Use the character count as a close guide.
