Limitations and troubleshooting

Words are whitespace tokens, including numbers and standalone symbols. Sentence splitting is a punctuation heuristic. Paragraphs split on blank lines.
Characters count JavaScript UTF-16 code units; emoji and combined symbols can count as multiple units. Platform limits can use a different method.
Reading and speaking estimates assume 225 and 140 words/minute; these are tool settings, not measured user speeds. No fixed text limit is imposed; large inputs can slow the browser.

Keep your original. No fixed processing time, guaranteed output size or universal browser support is claimed.

Optional Google Analytics helps us understand page visits and tool results. File contents, filenames, passwords and text inputs are excluded from our tool events. Tools work with either choice. Privacy details
