Does my text get uploaded anywhere?

No. Counting happens entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.

Does it count words the same way as Microsoft Word?

Very closely. Words are sequences separated by spaces and line breaks. Tiny differences can occur with unusual punctuation, but for essays and articles the counts match.

DrokyAi's word counter gives you the essentials at a glance — words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, reading time and speaking time.
