Word counter FAQ
Common questions
Does the counter include spaces?
Aegis shows both total characters and a separate count that excludes spaces, so you can use the number that matches your requirement.
Can it count paragraphs and sentences?
Yes. The tool reports characters, words, sentences, paragraphs, and an estimated reading time.
Is my text uploaded?
The counting logic runs in the browser and does not need a server request to calculate the metrics.
Is reading time exact?
No. Reading time is an estimate based on the text count and a general reading-rate assumption, not a measurement of an individual reader.
