Privacy: your text never leaves your browser

Every Toolflect Text Tool is 100% client-side. The moment you type or paste text, it is analyzed by JavaScript running inside this browser tab. Your text is never sent to our servers, never stored in a database, and never shared with any third party or AI service.

  • No uploads, no accounts, no sign-up
  • No cookies or tracking of your text
  • Works offline once the page has loaded
  • Close the tab and your text is gone from memory

You can even verify it yourself: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and type into the tool — the only requests you will ever see are this page's own static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Nothing you type is ever transmitted.

Frequently asked questions

Is this word counter really free?
Yes — unlimited use, no sign-up and no limits of any kind. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so it costs nothing to operate.
Does it work with Arabic and other languages?
Yes. Counting is fully Unicode-aware: Arabic, mixed Arabic-English text, accented characters and emojis are all measured correctly, and right-to-left text stays properly aligned while you type.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. All counting happens locally in JavaScript inside your tab. Nothing is sent to any server — you can even disconnect from the internet and the tool keeps working.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time assumes an average silent-reading speed of 200 words per minute, and speaking time assumes a comfortable presentation pace of 130 words per minute.
