Counting happens in your browser. Open Provinces does not upload or store the text. Clear it before leaving a shared device.

How the counts work

Words are separated by whitespace. Characters count the text as entered, with a second total excluding whitespace. Lines are based on line breaks. Reading time is rounded up using an indicative pace of 200 words per minute; it does not account for text difficulty or pauses.

Counts update as you type. A form or editor may treat some characters differently, so check its own counter when a specific limit matters.
