How do you ensure privacy?

We prioritize privacy by:

  • Processing all text locally in your browser
  • Not requiring any registration or personal information
  • Not using cookies to track your text content
  • Not storing your text on our servers

Does the tool work offline?

Yes, once you've loaded the Word Counter Pro website, you can use it offline. All text processing happens on your device, so you don't need an internet connection to count words or analyze text.

Technical Questions

The tool isn't counting words correctly. What should I do?

If you're experiencing issues:

  • Refresh the page and try again
  • Clear your browser cache
  • Try a different browser
  • Check if your text contains special characters or formatting
If problems persist, contact us with details of your issue.

Why isn't the URL loading feature working for my website?

This could be due to several reasons:

  • The website might block our access via CORS policy
  • The URL might be incorrect or the page might not exist
  • The page might contain mostly non-text content
  • The website might require authentication
Try copying the text directly instead of using the URL.

Do you have an API for developers?

Currently, we don't offer a public API. Word Counter Pro is designed as a user-facing web application. If you're interested in API access for your project, contact us and we'll consider it for future development.

How accurate are the readability scores?

Our readability scores (Flesch Reading Ease, Gunning Fog Index, etc.) are calculated using standard formulas and are generally accurate for English text. However, these should be used as guidelines rather than absolute measures, as readability can be subjective.
