Open Paper in the toolbar and choose Length and due date to see character counts, manuscript pages and days left.
Characters with and without spaces
Some forms count every space and line break, others count letters only. If the limit does not say which, ask; many forms count spaces.
How pages are estimated
Pages assume about 500 words on a single-spaced page and 250 on a double-spaced one. Font size and margins change this, so treat it as a rough guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text saved?
No. Counting happens in this browser and the text is never sent to a server.
How is reading time worked out?
At about 220 words a minute, a common pace for silent reading.
