Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The word counter splits text on whitespace boundaries and counts accurately. It handles multiple spaces, tabs, and line breaks correctly.

The word counter works with any language that uses space-separated words, including English, Spanish, French, German, and more. For languages without spaces (Chinese, Japanese), it counts character groups.

Stop words are common words like 'the', 'is', 'at', and 'which' that are excluded from keyword density analysis because they don't carry meaningful content.
