Frequently asked questions
Which number should I give for an essay word limit?
Words. They are counted by the spaces between them, the same way examiners and Word count them.
Why do characters and akshar differ?
A Hindi akshar is often several Unicode characters: क्षे is क, halant, ष and the e-matra. Forms with a character limit usually count characters, readers see akshar.
Is anything I type uploaded?
No. The tool runs in your browser and nothing you type leaves your computer.
Why ordinary counters get Hindi wrong
Most word counters were written for English. They miss sentences that end in ।, and their "characters" count every matra and halant separately, so क्षेत्र looks like seven characters. This counter gives both numbers, because both are asked for.
What each number means
- Characters count Unicode characters, matras and halants included. This is what SMS limits and many online forms count.
- Akshar count written syllables, the units a reader sees: क्षे is one, त्र is another.
- Sentences end at ।, ॥, ?, ! or a full stop.
